The Field
I gaze upon the lush field
Seemingly Soft and Serene
It’s cut evenly on top
Symmetrically precise like a newly mowed lawn
I pedal towards it
Its beauty, so familiar, draws me near
As I’m on the dirt trail I block out the world around me
Nothing else matters
No one else is there
It’s just me and my old friend
I admire the wild poppies growing on top of him
A luxury we do not find in America
The field and I communicate
He understands my thoughts,
He understands my nature,
He understands my pain
I don’t say a word
Words cannot be spoken to the field
Not English, Kiene Deutsch
The Field, he just understands, das Feld, er einfach versteht

During the summer of 2015, I was in Hamm Germany as a German Exchange partner. While riding on my bike through the country along side my host I saw a field of Poppies (un-common where I live) and felt an odd connection to them.
