I've seen this farm every time I come back from the city.
It's a sweet spot...
the barn tucked back against the trees,
huddled under its protective embrace...
the crop, a winter wheat...
jagged stalks hacked low, pale gold against the vivid green
of the forest that holds it,
protected.
glowing,
sun's rays thrown back into the sky
the hazy half-light of evening
stops time... for just a moment...
(the earth holds her breath)
... I make a wish.

A happy boy and his daddy

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. You rock.
