So much morning
To this day
A long slow sunrise
On the plains
The hawks and owls
And songbirds sing
The soil moist
The leaves turning
Awakening in me
My Childhood’s Past
A sense of spirit
The smell of cut grass
There’s something about
These fruited plains
A wildlife spirit
I once thought mundane
But a feeling of home
With open arms
Each time I return
I become reborn
