The first one has a rhythm to it, and you may enjoy reading it outloud.
May they bless you in the reading as much as They Blessed me in the writing,

Both are beautiful. 🙂
Ah, the red clover.
Love both.
thanks…have you ever read Deaf Earth outloud to yourself? The rhythm of this is the absolute cornerstone…all else pivots round it
