Taking the country road
where the sky goes on
forever,
white pillow puff clouds
overhead, and
sugarcane fields
sprouting fresh green shoots.
Sometimes, I take this country road,
long and meandering.
Meadows of miniature ponies,
weathered barns,
and banks of goldenrod
draw my weary mind
to a peaceful place.
Today, I think I’ll take the country road.
