Across a wide flat land
Sky burnished amber
Prairie icons
Punctuate the horizon
In a place of
Simplest existence
Simple and hard
And I drive on
Sometimes
I realize
The magic of its light
Most days
It rises, it sets
Another day gone by
But today
It’s magic
And so am I
A rugged shoreline
In splendid
Repose
While I
Breathe silently
In time
With the rush of ocean
Upon the land
Dappled sun
Offers
Tonic warmth
I look to the sea
Realizing
They’re already here
And I wonder at you and I
With all that space
We put between us
And still
We just can’t
Get along
When he sensed its presence
The bitter fell away
Illuminating the darkness
When he couldn’t
All he sensed
Was darkness
But even in the darkness
That pulsing golden vein
Kept him alive
The clouds
Racing the sky
The sea
Boils and churns
And I
Quiet my mind
Be still
Become the stone
