The spirits of dead Trees
Stay until finally they live again.
Men could learn a lot

Thank you so much for your kind words

Pastoral Symphony

The outline of a hare,
In the hatching morning.
Demure in a flint- rusted field .

The sides they are too steep,
And I am down way so deep,
I was clinging to the edge.
And then – just kind of fell.
