(Hour 14) 11.30am-12.30pm. PROMPT, Use quote to jump off.

The land knows you,
even when you are lost

calls you home
even after years

enduring countless
cold mornings

watching sideways
as the garden grows

out of the dark black
mulch of night

horizons start to hover
against the light

trees creep, tiptoe up
assume silhouette status 

the wind shakes off its shadows
rocks shudder away overcoats

at last  a reason to rise
as the earth                  tilts

  1. Your paired lines create vivid images: “watching sideways” makes me think of new visions of nature, “mulch of night,” and “silhouette status” all create peacefulness. I’m learning quite a bit reading your clear, concise style.
