Plowed Earth

She folded her arms

Around the world and its charms

She seized the load

Of a million miles of road

To stop meant despair

She traveled here and there

Trails led her on

Trials took her beyond

Little did she know

From tears seeds would grow

The moment is now

Lean forward my girl

Put your back to the plow

Her tears moistened soil

The sun burnt her skin

She did not recoil

Another day, another time

Brought closer to you

She shrugged off her coat

 Time to renew

Like the bird on the road

All covered in dust

She brushed off the clay

To night’s purple dusk

Move on, it said

Move on to your home

To the flutter of wings

She continued to roam
