A Walk Through the Meadow
By Jessica W
Published 5 July 2024
It’s the rushing of water,
The rustling of leaves,
The pit-pat of raindrops,
The rumble of clouds.
It isn't so loud
As I walk through the crops.
A cold startle from the eaves
Merges into wastewater.
It is peaceful
Seeing beaded spiderwebs,
The silk rebounding with every drip.
I find a clover – a three-leaf –
Of faith, hope, and love.
Sheltering it a chrysanth,
Dancing in the wind above.
