Draw Me a Better Life

Show me an outline

of a farm

where people wish to live

perhaps in a

nectar of woods

comforted by spruce,

and a hill crowding an

old barn --

a home ready for

laughter, with children

and chickens.

Show me lots of space --

horses prancing at freedom

in green pastures,

a gravel road

with baby blue above 

and colours that capture

autumn emotion,

calico leaves dropping by.

Closing my eyes I see.
