As far as the eye could see
A subtle blue hue
Overwhelming the brown,
And the dark green
Fields and fields
Of wild blueberries
Ripe, ready for the harvest
For the hands, the backs, the sweat
Of the migrant pickers
An ultimate example of piecework
A denim blue before the light blue
Of the August sky

Our mission trip, August 5 to 11, 2007
from Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH and from First United Methodist Church,
Hudson, MA to Jacksonville and Machias, ME
to the Down East Maine Mission,
Jacksonville United Methodist Campground,
East Machias, ME
A subtle blue hue
Overwhelming the brown,
And the dark green
Fields and fields
Of wild blueberries
Ripe, ready for the harvest
For the hands, the backs, the sweat
Of the migrant pickers
An ultimate example of piecework
A denim blue before the light blue
Of the August sky
