Finding heart in Jericho, Vermont

 

Jericho's Field of heArt.


I know not my neighbors name

nor what intent he might wear

upon his field so grand

Dollops of oranges orange, crimson reds, lemon yellows, burnt oranges, 

spattered about emerald greens, lime greens, seas of jade standing in  

the bleachers not knowing the names of the grasses in front of them. 


Side by side trails march over hill and yonder, 
side by side in a communal walk
not knowing one or the other

yet from green to gold
crimson to orange and yellow
tree to grass

there are neighbors of different colors and stripes
walking side by side
along similar pathways

where

Jericho gives heart
gives the heart of community
even when you know not their name.
