Transcriber’s Note
A gentle, unmistakable rhythm threads through this collection, welcoming listeners into fields, farms, and quiet evenings. The poems move from a simple, rustic task of cleaning a pasture spring to contemplations of aging trees and the soft hush of November rains. Each piece feels like a brief conversation with the natural world, inviting you to pause and notice the details that often go unheard.
The range spans tender childhood wonder, solitary moments in a vanished house, and quiet encounters with strangers on a twilight porch. The language is clear yet richly layered, allowing the listener to hear both the rustle of wheat and the deeper currents of longing and wonder. Whether you are drawn to the crisp cadence of a winter night or the warm glow of a late‑summer fire, these verses offer a comforting, reflective journey that feels both intimate and timeless.
