Fog spills out on the winter grain
Blanketing the fruit
Of the harvest to come, breaking the news
Of the sickles and plows
And, the work of the rain clouds done
Tired hands, thick and worn
Laboring to satisfaction
Of another years run, welcoming the ration
Of the Good Lords land and love
And, the warmth of the season’s changing sun
Dirty seedlings sprout their beauty
Staking claim again
Of the earth of their parents, eyeing the rich
Of the spirit and hope
And, the mystery of the seasons lesson
And, once again, fog spills out on the winter grain
