The simplicity of structures
The simplicity of structures
which there needs do serve
comforting rhythms of the
spoken word
The connecting centers of
living things
scatter the seeds from winded seas
nature in their element
To the fields of harvest moons
harnessed to a plowing earth
common as the seedling seeds
shapeless shapes of growing leaves
that satisfies the resting hands
When the day is done
