Prairie Melodies

Discover music in windswept prairie straw,

Hear echoes of solitude in hawk's call on high,

Find repose in raindrops battering red mesa

And rhapsodies of wind in tenacious piñon stand.

Lend ear to crescendo of flowers at playa shore,

Then consider prairie melodies with mindfulness.

Let said age-old harmonies reach into your heart

And connect your spirit to songs of the universe.
