Window into the Field

"Window into the Field"  Copyright@Louisiana Dreams & Beyond Photography by Sherry Lynn 2019

Oh,
    there's a wildness there in nature:
A roughness edged with lace,
A shaggy turn of bright-lit hues,
Bedecking all with grace.

Yet,
   there's a softness found in nature:
Delicate and silky cast;
An ornamental festive dress,
Relaxed, yet rich and vast.

But,
   there's a beck'ning found in nature:
A call to ponder deeply there;
A window open to another field—
O leave behind your care!

Here,
   here in nature is a succor,
A balm, an aid to heal.
For here in nature will we find
A substance that is real.

- D. Benning
