In the Grove: The poet at Thirty

She saw him stretch;
long and lean -
the timothy bowing to his form.

A plane rattled the window,
sliced the lone cloud -
one shape bending the next.

Silent he shifted visions.

Somehow, before awe
turned intrusion, she left him
to his day.

* The poem above was inspired by a poem written by Jane Kenyon and dedicated to my son.

She was an inspiration; he continues to be much the same.
