The frame raps the asphalt
The rhythm ropes in serrated emotions
Winding midst tended arable
Sprawling auburn caking fallow
Spent and dreary in wait
For the nod of a heeding cloud
Descending into the river bowl
A fleeting repose at the threshold
A frontier dais of river flows
Ascending effortless
Disintegrating the nerve
Past where for eons once stood
A wealth in canopy and wood
Profuse ruffian hand shakes
Pave way to counsel over corn meal cake
Proof of a homely abundance
A sturdy lone ray
Traces a course past the iron roof
To pay homage, to honour
A too long, lost sojourner
Odour of fresh cattle dung
Mingling with the whiff of soaked soil upward flung
Brings me back to earth's feet
Midday sun looking down to greet
Petite yellow bright visages
A temeritous taunt of defiance
A spirited unfettered flourescence
Boulders clinging to the hillside
Like obstinate mites on a cow hide
In perpetual immutable banter
Like departed souls, prostrate
Watching by, days' saunter
The sun drapes atop, a crown
An anointing royal verdant sheen
Trees basking in balmy receding rays
A rainbow haloes the expanse
A portal to seventh heaven
And I bathe in the awesome wonder
Of the sublime, the idyllic
And when once more, dark
Hovers resolute over land
I leave my heart behind
