Prairie Daydreams


Lost in daydreams my heart still dances
To shod horse rhythms on Staked Plain
And lively refrains of rain on baked earth.

My soul still soars with red-tailed hawks
And surrenders to eternity in azure skies
Adrift among gossamer mansions of clouds.

My spirit still finds boundless inspiration
In memories of sage on windswept prairie
And meadowlark song in cool sunrise mists.

Miracles Of Life


Dawn lifts veils of night.
Shadows welcome day.
Birdsongs exalt solitude.

Winged seeds set sail
‘Cross far sea of grass
Buoyed by early breeze
Ablaze in sunlit hues.

Each tiny miracle of life
Speaks boldly to my heart
And adamantly calls to mind,
Do not forsake this moment
Lost in tomorrow’s dreams.
