J.K's Farm -記農場

Visited J.K's farm finally
總算 
拜訪了 J.K的農場 
over two hundred acres of land
 alfalfa, sudan grass
cover most of ground
.
兩百多英畝土地
佔滿 紫花苜蓿 和蘇丹草
.
We got some haying to do
J.K, Bob and I

我們三人
有收割晒草的任務在身
.
A John Deer tractor
 attached to a grass cutter
then the blower 
then the wagon in the end
一輛牽引車 掛著 大型收割器
再加 風箱
所有的草 都落進運貨車箱裡
Hot. warm sun
Ear plug block out the noise from the tractor
Back and forth 
陽光 熾熱
耳塞 擋住大部份的機械嘶吼
來來 回回
Dragon flies and I 
enjoyed the ride on the grass field.
蜻蜓 和我
享受著 在牧草場 馳騁
.
I love the farm
the opneness
the stillness
the harshness
with 
lots of strength
lots of life
lots of possibility
愛上了 農場如此寬廣 凝止 甚至 粗糙
卻同時擁有 無盡的能量 和生命力
還有無窮的可能性 
 I don't belong here
but 
it took me in 
with such kindness
我 不屬於農場
但是
它以 仁慈迎接
On my way out
the wind whispered
在回程的路上
清風送來農場的輕語
come back
soon
再 回來
探訪我

After visited Bean.

Sit by the water
 warm bright sun 
light breeze
.
a
back-raspberry twist with maple  cream-mee 
in hand
Brandi Carlile sang her heart out
 into my ears
read 
the journey of Eric Weiner
search of the happiest place in the world
.
joyful cheers!!
and claps! form far
oh
a bride in white gown 
companied with three deep purple dresss
as they walked by
.
What a beautiful day!!
.
What are you up to?
.
Not sure why
I thought of Mary Oliver
"As for death, I can't wait to be the hummingbird, can you?"
she said, in her poem
.
thoughts lingered  
.
If it's my turn to pick
I want to be a big old tree
.
So
you can come and sit by me
tell me all your story
 I will tickle you
while you read me the poem

Stars. Words

Sunday night 8pm
" ..when all the stars line up 
the way they should
you are the most beautiful woman
 I've known..."  M.D said
.
I looked down to check my cell signal
all the bars are full
every words came in
loud and clear

It's a compliment
I think
sounded pretty also
Though
the words formed into snow
 and swirled
around and around
couldn't find their way
to settle in
I don't know how stars line up
Beautiful
is too far to reach
.
I am here
just me
.
under the sun
in the rain
full moon or no moon
with stars or not
sometimes it's pitch-dark
.
I am me

And then I found you

Oil Painting by Carol Norton
titled " and then I found you "
.
It found me at Art Hop yesterday
.
It moved me to tears.
.
Embarrassed I was
but
with joy
.
It decided to be with me this morning
will move in next Monday
.
I believe
we will aways be
happy
with each other
.
Sounds like a marriage
almost
but a lot easier
.

Prime Numbers - To Pete. H


THREE
Was lonely one
.
THREE
Spent a lot of time
working on
Self -improvement projects
hoping
things would be different
Maybe
bent a little
three could look like six

grow a little
three could be an eight
.
tried and tired
THREE was
.
Nothing worked
In Scotland, 2011
Pete.H told me the story of being three
I asked why me?
he said "I know you are not normal!"
"You don't look like others"
.
I took off my mask
with a sense of gladness
and relief
.
I am
a SEVEN
under covered in NINE
Thirty nine years gone by
finally
.

Fair's Wheel



9/2/2011
Fair's wheel was on my mind since I woke up this morning.
Not only the image of it,
the cheerful music came with it
they insists went to work with me
not going away.
So, set out to full fill the calling,
Must, I said.
This is not the first time I ride on the wheel
but
there were things catching my eyes
as I never saw them before

The fun I had from the ride
almost
a discovery.
