Nature

Grounded – A poem of the Earth

Look beneath your feet
And notice

Notice the textures
Notice the colors blending
And bold

Bold and brilliant hues
Bold and distinct edges
And patterns

Patterns of cracks
Patterns of smoothness
And transitions

Transitions moving towards new
Transitions moving in a rhythm
And beat

Beat into the earth
Beat into your memory
And soul

Centered in Bend, Oregon, my blog branches out into nature, history, and art-related topics.
