High Life

'High Life' 19x19" oil pastel and oil pen;  Kathleen Faulkner

                                                  

It is a different world up here, say the trees.

The air is different, the climate, too

we see things

Birds love us.

who knew that brown feels hopeful

These fields will always be here. 

We have protected them against development.

 

Sometimes they are green or yellow.

Sometimes, when the County sprays ROUNDUP,

the fields glow orange.

I like the naked field best.. 

the dirt is so dark and rich looking.

A hopeful thing

giving me something to look forward to.
