Fields of Gold
Fields of Gold
Golden fields of wheat
blowing in summer breeze
Reminiscent of her
wayward, flaxen hair
The color of the sun
and bees’ honey
Her hands would pull
it back and tie
with a satin ribbon
Her eyes blue like the sky
and face sun-kissed with freckles

Here no one listens
and there’s no one to call
An unheard scream
goes where dead words fall
In the furor of crashing waves
Beyond The Sea
Beyond The Sea My weightless body
buoying on a diamond-studded sea
