communal farming
dreaming
this is the dream
of my contentment
the men and women sowing
the corn and cabbage growing
the cattle penned and lowing
the scythe and sickle mowing
between the hope
and the act
lies the
will
which will not
will
the hope
to spring
full born
in time
and space
we sit beside a
winter's fire and talk
and wait
until at
last
in spring's
twilight
the whippoorwill
beats to death
the will
to dream
of autumn's
horn of plenty
Louis Miles
