Haybales

Helene Kippert

Haybales

This is a pencil drawing I’ve played with in Picassa2.

Thrasher
Neil Young

They were hiding behind hay bales,
They were planting
in the full moon
They had given all they had
for something new
But the light of day was on them,
They could see the thrashers coming
And the water
shone like diamonds in the dew.

And I was just getting up,
hit the road before it’s light
Trying to catch an hour on the sun
When I saw
those thrashers rolling by,
Looking more than two lanes wide
I was feelin’
like my day had just begun.
