An Ordinary Life
A tractor rests in the shade of the tree
green grass still edges the fallow field
while bright sun lights the sky
and warms the stone and earth
the undiscovered treasures
of an ordinary life
A moment to cherish the fading
warmth of the growing season
with all the harvesting done
and the plenty of Summer put by
a moment of thanks to remember
before Winter gilds the landscape
with bright diamonds of frost
the beckoning treasures
of an ordinary life

So glad you liked it. I think so often we miss the ordinary magic that surrounds us. A favorite quote of mine is “Anyone can love a rose, but it takes a lot to love a leaf.” I have no idea who said it first but it was an epiphany moment when I first read it.
