Wooden Scythe Leaning Against Barn Wall in among terraced rice paddies in the Rift Valley

Wooden Scythe Leaning Against Barn Wall

by Melinda Hensley

Golden morning light spills across terraced rice paddies in the Rift Valley, catching the thin mist rising from the wet earth. A weathered wooden scythe rests against a rough barn wall, its curved blade dull and stained with soil. The wood grain shows deep grooves from years of use, against the smooth, wet stones of the barn foundation. Patches of green rice shoots line the terraces below, glistening with recent rain. Low clouds hang heavy near the horizon, softening the distant ridges. The humid air settles on the tool's handle, leaving a faint sheen on the bark. one drop of water rests on the tip of the scythe blade before sliding down into the shadow of the wall.
