BALED HAY
"Wheels of baled hay bask in October sun:
Gold circles strewn across the sloping field,
They seem arranged as if each one
Has found it's place; together they appeal
To some glimpsed order in my mind
Preceeding my chance pausing here --
A randomness that also seems designed.
Gold circles strewn across the sloping field
Evoke a silence deep as my deep fear
Of emptiness; I feel the scene requires
A listnener who can respond with words, yet who
Prolongs the silence that I still desire,
Relieved as clacking crows come flashing through,
Whose blackness shows chance radiance of fire.
Yet stillness in the field remains for everyone:
Wheels of baled hay bask in October sun."

Thanks, Dee ... autumnal wishes to you also. Where did the summer go? Did you see it fly by?
Hi Nancy and thank you. I'm surprised I remembered GBMD but glad I did. It's fun to honor the new month.
You think so too, Rosey! Hum ... I wonder who doesn't think of shredded wheat. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Autumn!
Michigan is indeed a beautiful state, Linda. I have lived here all my life and am still in awe (with much yet to visit). Now, you MUST visit and bring the grandchildren! Happy autumn days!
happy autumn.
Lovely

P.S. 'Calendar' was one of my thoughts too.
