The Lea Past the Barn
May my soul
be an offering
to the quiet pasture;
where there is no threat of loss
nor need to change.

I have been nurtured by it,
the gentle breeze,
the thing I can’t control.

Those wild growths:
they will teach me to be fine
 at least until I am dead.
And when I am dead,
I will join the field
as it teaches the next guest.
