Back to basics

 
Firm beneath your feet I lie; step lightly or you’ll crush the heart
that beats and waits and beats and waits and holds you safe til you depart.

Playful, bouncing, bubbling noise; moving, now refreshing, rushing
Life and joy and effervescing - inward, outward, upward gushing

Cool and soothing whistling softly, bringing just as easily dread.
Pushing, lifting, piling, scattering; moving fields and turning heads.

Rising falling, blazing, glowing - power, warmth, and nourishment.
Now providing, now destroying; grows before its evidence.

The painting is from college. "An Apple Still", Gouache on panel, 14 x 17
