L'aura del Campo

Emerald treasure

Emerald treasure

Crimson blushes
in pink or white florets,
plucked for their vernal fragrance
as children search
through fresh mown grass
for four fingers attached to a petiole.

How hard to stoop these days,
and not fall over, smacked by wet cold ground.
Oh, to be able to get up in a single bound,
knees stained with wealth and happiness,
as nimble fingers twirl in admiration
at Fate grasped with one hand.
