Savannah

wild seeds take root in spring slapped to life by cool, clean rain gaining strength to push away from fertile soil and maternal clay giving animals air to breath summer sun makes strong and tall recklessly reaching for the sky fighting droughts and storms but only the lucky survive predator’s deadly jaws fall descends like a love-starved lady bending gracefully in the wind down, down, down to the ground touching the earth with a gentle sound spared of the combine’s blade winter reaps the colored leaves brown and withered frosty days clouds blot out the holy light until a silent, snowy night grants precious sleep to the countryside Houston, Texas ‘82
