Southern Cotton


solid grey, white blankets impaled upon the sky

curtains of colorless clouds all around

a perfect background for the dark trees

and their abundance of new green leaves...

blues, reds, and shades highlighted too

mixed in with various hues and textures that

offer a rainbow of sights fit for royalty,,,

rain sprinkles down on the silence

birds chirp away at their neighbors carelessly,

smells of freshness filter through the air

like smoke from campfires meandering

down through the hollows on some

abandoned trail long ago used to journey

through the smoky mountains enroute to

the all white cotton fields of the south...

a paradise for those who live in slow motion.
