At Roxbury Pond

I walk, slow, a dirt road, in the sun light —

I hear sand under my feet —

I see a field, wildflowers, in the sun light —

I hear a bee’s soft rasp in the air —

The sun is hot on my face —

A breeze touches my body with heat —

Sand, under my feet, soft —

I walk, slow, off the road into tall grasses —

The grasses move, rustle —

I walk in the shadows of green leafed trees —

A breeze touches my body with cool air —

The grass rustles —

I walk, slow, into the dirt road in the sun light —

I hear sand under my feet —

The field, wildflowers, in the sun light —

I hear sand, soft —

I walk, slow, the dirt road —

The sun is hot —

I hear a bee’s soft rasp —

A breeze touches my face —

I walk, slow —

I hear, sand —
