Amber Waves - Summer

An allegory of growing older.....

For so long the wheat stood
stiff and straight
each stem strong
bearing its own weight,
but as it aged it began to droop
dropping its head
as if to stoop
relaxing into amber waves,
bowing with dignity,
graceful and brave.

Amber Waves - summer

For so long

the wheat stood stiff and straight,

each stem strong

bearing its' own weight,

but as it aged it began to droop

dropping its head as if to stoop

relaxing into amber waves,

bowing with dignity

graceful and brave.
