BALED HAY (Hubbard Lake) ________________ BALED HAY "Wheels of baled hay bask in October sun: Gold circles strewn across the sloping field, They seem arranged as if each one Has found it's place; together they appeal To some glimpsed order in my mind Preceeding my chance pausing here -- A randomness that also seems designed. Gold circles strewn across the sloping field Evoke a silence deep as my deep fear Of emptiness; I feel the scene requires A listnener who can respond with words, yet who Prolongs the silence that I still desire, Relieved as clacking crows come flashing through, Whose blackness shows chance radiance of fire. Yet stillness in the field remains for everyone: Wheels of baled hay bask in October sun." ~ Robert Pack HUBBARD LAKE COUNTRYSIDE ______________ (Click and join Carolyn for October Garden Muse Day)
