Driving back from a dear friend's place
taking all the back roads home
on a warm summers day...
Nothing like a country drive
to help clear my minds way
Multiple hues flash before
seeking orbs of brown
more colors than in a crayola box....I believe
I can look in the forest way beyond the fields
so many colors of green
focus there long enough
I see the pattern in the trees
Fields of corn and soybeans
run parallel with the blacktop road
Wildflowers stand bold at the edge
Their loveliness I feel must be disclosed
Queen Annes Lace;
Who are they?
Would you care to know?
They're ladies in white lace dresses
who don one center purple bow
Black-eyed Susan
her name sounds so tough
yellow petals droop down
blackened center
she doesn't look so rough
Chickory too
so many uses for you
abundantly you grow here
with your lovely pale shade
of blue
Goldenrod
taller than the rest
waving back and forth at me
loving the bright warm sun
with her golden yellow hue
she is really easy to see
All these flowers
used to fill this prairie land
would have liked to have
seen it that way,
way back when
This Prairie here
untouched by the greedy...
white man
