Bridgeport

by Leonard M Hawkes

Naked
In the gold light
Of sunset,
We gazed west
Across the great meadow
To the stillness
Of the snowcapped Sierras.

There were no names--
Only from's
And to's,
Youth and age--
Warm in the bosom
Of our Mother
The Earth.

I love pieces like this. The language and words are so quick, so simple, but never anything less than completely effective in painting the scene. Nicely done.
