WHEAT SONG

THE WHEAT SONG

The wheat sings in the country

Sea waves of wheat

It’s whispered sibiliances

Ebb and Flow

With the tide of green

That grows in summertime

That flows as the wind blows

In ups and downs

If it were

A green ocean

I’d take my surf board

And ride across the country

I’d play with the wind

Stand atop the sheaves

And twist and turn

With the swirls

The wind paints

On its surface

I’d jump and shout

And join the wheat song

With a harmony

Embrace the life

It gave as profoundly

As the one my Mother gave to me

I’d see her once again

Those piercing eyes

Letting me know

Don’t waste the life you’re given

Ride with the wind

Smile at the Sun

Taste the Freedom

That your birth gave you

That Mother Earth gave you

The wheat doesn’t sing in the city
The ocean of green never flows that way

Its song is lost amongst

The paved roads

And houses

Whose hearts beat

At a thousand decibles

Where there is no time

For wheat lullabies

Wheat shimmers in the sun

Glows and sparkles

In a bright yellow sun

Dances with its sisters

In a symphony of sound

Its Wheat Song
