Hacienda Camp

August 18, 2019 ~ johnbrandall

I gave praise
to steel you confidence.
You gave welcome
to feel me love.
Rooster sang crow
to share us morning.
Eugene broke fast
so we’d build house.
Water washed clean
so we felt ourselves.
Earth sprang mountain
to keepsafe sun.
Wood took flame
so we’d have fire.
Wind gave owl wing
and we had night.
