Resurrection
By Matthew Ross
At the trailhead,
he looks backwards
across the field,
and for a moment,
forgetting the succession
of colorless days,
pauses in his muddy boots
to lift his face to the sun.
You speak of a hard days work. You give me thoughts of proud man.
We all need to pause and lift our faces to the sun.
