WENDELL BERRY ~

 


Stay Home


I will wait here in the fields

to see how well the rain

brings on the grass. 

In the labor of the fields

longer than a man's life

I am home. Don't come with me.

You stay home too.


I will be standing in the woods

where the old trees

move only with the wind

and then with gravity.

In the stillness of the trees

I am at home. Don't come with me.

You stay home too.
