It's Still Life

Day 7 #thewildness. Imagine you are a wildlife photographer. Describe the most breathtaking picture you have taken during your challenge. 

This Corner of Earth

From stone to tree,
a path-like vein
to the barn’s weather-dimpled door.
It’s marked with broad rain and burning sun,
seasons not forgot.

Fields over there,
the wheat is nodding to rapeseed,
and the musical rhythm of bees.

The door hinges glance and groan,
sweet hay spread new,
a haunting scent of returning home,
it’s halting in this gloom and roam.
And then the smell of cows
and sows and boars.

Feed troughs rattle,
a turn of heads as
one follows one to the stranger
standing in their vein.

And here we all walk
on one path,
on this living vein.
