"So Far Above the Fray.."
In the meadow, in the valley, in the hollow and the glen
so far above the fray you stand, you stand above it all.
Removed from all that plagues us, removed from all that binds us,
here sit the verdant mushrooms,
here stand the green russula
so far above the fray.
In the meadow, in the valley, in the hollow of the glen,
deep-set in that green vale so far beyond our ken,
removed from all that plagues us, removed from all that binds us,
here sit the verdant mushrooms,
here stand the green russula
so far above the fray.

The above is what happens when art inspires further art. I was painting some mushrooms I saw this past weekend and then got inspired to write a little poem on the back when I was done.
