“Mother Nature”
By Sara Metcalf Leach, High Desert Branch
The day is beautiful with yellow flowers
but cool enough to don a coat.
The apple trees long finished with their work
rest casually and unconcernedly in respite.
The sky bares its dark load
in case those who bear blessings
have forgotten whence they came.
