https://www.matthewclark.net/mcwordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/OTW_S5-E15-Palmer-Essay.mp3Anita K. Palmer has always turned to pen and paper to figure out what she thinks, feels, and believes. That propensity launched a career when she fell into editing a Christian publication, which—unrelated to her hiring—soon went to magazine heaven. The experience failed to squelch an appetite for editorial work that included thirteen years in daily newspapers and five as a university media relations officer. For two decades she has worked with publishers and individuals on upward of 125 nonfiction books, and has written more web content, blog posts, newsletters and marketing materials than she cares to count. Born and reared in Southern California, she now lives in Colorado. She is blessed with many dear friends and one kind and brilliant adult son.
Take to the Fields
by Matthew Clark
I saw a man with a bleeding heart
A bleeding heart
Ragged as the wind, eager to begin
Oh, his eyes they were clear as gold
Searching out the crags
Tender, strong and sad
Gave up all he had, left his home behind him
Gone a-seeking
CHORUS
If you got eyes to see
Come keep watch with me
If you got ears to hear
I pray you know
The Lord is near
I saw a house full of shepherds in repose
Moths ate off their clothes
All naked emperors, wrapped in soothing words
But you skinned your knees when you slid to break my fall
I howled up at the moon
When the salt got in the wound, the fire licked my tomb
And fire rolled like water there to cleanse me
So take to the fields, oh take to the roads
Wonder at the thorns that bite into the rose
Cut down to the bones
Take your pail and gather where you can
The field is ripe with grain, and scattered sheep like sand
Too little callous on my hands, there is mercy on the wind
If you can hear it
