Peace of mind
and sweeter thoughts
between the red barn
and the white church
and the sighs of standing corn
pickup trucks and tractors
shedded and at rest
a turn of blackbirds
a rush of wings
sounding like a promise
warm creatures in their stalls
warm humans in their parlors
their screens gone gray
in a quiet world
minds at ease with faith
caring for each other
believing in a greater good
if only for an interrupted hour.
