Picture 2
Ruth Long’s Picture Choice: One
Title: Naturescape
I sit on a carpet of grass
with a skirt full of daffodils
and although my eyes
are closed
I can see the color
and hear the activity
all around me
the peaceful hum
of steady accomplishment
a chubby little bee
in his fuzzy yellow
and black sweater
buzzing from coneflower
to buttercup to foxglove
a red-breasted robin
overpowering the
scarlet columbine
climbing the tree
beneath her
sharp-clawed feet
a jackrabbit
skip-hopping
across the green grasses
through the meadowrues
and pipsissewas to her
underground hideaway
and if I close my eyes tightly enough
I imagine they let me become one
with them, if only for a moment
tucked into the crook of
Mother Nature's arm
