POEM: Prairie Sky


Dark clouds hang low in a prairie sky
Rolling land waves beneath them lie
Journey so long journeying far
Course is unset by the far distant stars
Ships gone before me sailed out of sight
Passed over the dark horizon to night
Don’t know for sure heaven is waiting
So many dreams and hopes slowly fading
Still transfixed with wonder each precious short day
Everything becomes nothing, no one can stay.
