The sheep had a convention
in the upper field today
I suspect grass was the subject
or some munching anyway
And there were clearly some ringleaders
as they moved around a lot
their noses buried in the grass
from spot to luscious spot

there in the field
caught my eye when just passing
in the Sussex Weald
Forlorn it stood pleading
with a look it its eye
“Could it come with me?”
as I wandered by

Clouds in the field
and up in the sky
caught my eye there
as I wandered by
Some in the green
and others in blue
reflecting each other

To the beginning son, go back with me
Remember how I stood beside you when…
No, you only remember my absence.

By name each one He called.

allowing me to get in close
and for a moment be attune

This week you’ll find me writing
(continuing with a leap)
about an animal each day
and today concerns a sheep
We think of them as stupid
but I’m not having that at all
For I know they have intelligence
like this one on a wall

Faced
With the cold inhumanity
Of the lives we lead
How can one
Avoid fading into the
Gray mush
Like a zombie

I am resolutely steadfast
Not to wish the time away
But have been reminded since September
That it will soon be Christmas day
