Lancaster Farm
painting by Judy Ringold (above) and poem by Stanley Fink (below)
Early morning rising sun
Illuminates
Farm house
Barn
Stables
All nestled
In the green shade of
Old Oak and Maple trees.
This place is
So quiet, serene and still
It seems frozen in time.
The harvest and livestock
Are safely sheltered
From rain and snow.
But the biggest threat
Is our own attitude.
This land is sacred–
We do not own it.
Ours only to borrow
To preserve for tomorrow.
Thanx to Judy & Stanley for their timely contributions! I am reading books on climate control and the environment, so this dynamic duo seems very timely.
