Zoom w a View: I can smell the land returning to life

Several days of warm temperatures
wake the land,
the healthy smell of moist soil
fills the air
and my desire
to stand in black rubber boots
beside a worn fence post
rise to the surface.


You’ll see me soon
beside a country road,
looking toward a new breeze.

Mmm....I love that smell too. I can hardly wait until the warm weather arrives here and wakes things up again. Do enjoy your breeze!
