birthplace of creativity
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
a sunlit pasture
an open gate
free to explore
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
there is
time enough when
the barn is full
inexhaustible
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
the next hill 
small
until climbing
and the
view 
materializing
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
reaching an 
early summit of
bared trees
skeletal fingers
obscuring
blocking
as colors extinguish
from the departing vista
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
a premature obituary
when all around
still glows
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
now waiting at the well
from a distance
not daring to draw 
from a source
contrived
not daring
anymore
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
while there was
sunlight streaming through
a break in the
stone wall
barn bench birthplace Creativity dam farm grave harvest Haverhill John Greenleaf Whittier Massachusetts New England pasture Poetry
dam burst
scattering leaves
the leaves of decay
water foaming
churning at the source
of the fall

the harvest of waiting
is over
