Withdrawn into mind’s eye
And daydreams by and by,
My heart soars given time to dwell
On bygone prairie day
And swift red dog at play
In knee-deep grasslands...raising hell.
Down dusty trail in search
Of Red-tailed Hawk’s elm perch
Beside iconic windmill well,
That sustains beast and man
On said windswept hardpan
And postpones lone homestead's death knell.
Cloud billows in azure skies
Winnow woes and stay demise
Of unconstrained dreams; and foretell
Long lopes in league with wild hare
And reward beyond compare,
Once boundless horizons bid farewell.
