I Rise Among

I rise among

the rippling rows

that hug the contours

of the field. Golden

tassels touched with

cinnamon hues stand

tall above the corn

that strangely forms

a wall along either

side of this Donegal road.

We are called into

symmetry with these

plants; in this geometry

of dirt and soil.  At

home in this casual

beckoning.  At peace

in this simple dance.

Among, with, above,

along, in, and finally at.

Always heeding the request.

Join me.”

This poem of mine is perfectly paired with a piece by Local Artist MALCOLM CORLEY entitled “THE FARM”.  Malcolm is 22 years old.
