On a lazy, rainy Sunday
I go walking to where the mountain spins gold.
I pour my heart into the dirt as I exchange pieces of myself
for pieces of earth charm.
To take is to give, to take without giving is the ultimate imbalance.
The meadow larks flutter their song and wrap their wings about the softness of each other.
A moose spells sanctuary and tranquility with each drooping movement of its velvet roman nose.
Over in the thickness of the draw, pheasant roosters crow endlessly about their handsome tails.
Hawk eyes see all.
I carefully select my bouquet.
I bruise, bend and snap stalks as I build a petaled trophy for the windowsill at home.
The wind comes in waves.
The clouds sail fast into Wyoming.
I bed down in the tall grasses,
like a tawny deer,
and watch the rain come down the mountain.

you don't know how much i needed to read these words. this day. this is balm for my poured-out soul.
i am thankful for what you give to me.
Oh Jillian, I love and appreciate all the warm hearted comments you have been leaving for me on my blog as of lately.
I loved this post, Idaho is so green! The wind here in Laramie is killing everything and won't let anything grow. Just the other day it broke the stem on one of our tulips. Hmph. I hope you'll consider coming to the Climbers Festival in Lander this summer. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, as always. Beautiful photographs and inspiration.
