Renewal is wonderful

I remember as a boy

watching the stubbled soil

curve slowly

behind the plough blades

as a tractor chugged

through the fields in the spring

the pungent smell

of open earth

and diesel fumes

an odd incense

at this ceremony

presided over by the gulls

under the warm spring sun...

renewal

awakening

and a brief embrace

from a primal force deep

so deep and large

I

spreadeagled on the ground

unable to fully grasp

could only

wonder

A stubble field on the Cardurnock Peninsula. The light covering of snow overnight had defined the tracery of the stubble emphasising the perspective and contours. This field had somewhat suffered due to the very wet season and had been cut quite late which had probably made ploughing impossible thus, we see the stubble - an unusual sight these days! Normally cutting and ploughing follow each other in quick succession.
