Under the Prairie Sky


7 kilometers of open road
my running shoes, ipod and I
the sun is trying to break through the clouds
a hot breeze brushes past my skin
evaporating my sweat even before it's out of my body
welcome to the desert.

i turn 180 and see nothing but horizon everywhere i look
the crops are changing
strips of gold appear in the fields of green

a white horse looks up from her breakfast in the pasture to watch me go by
a butterfly flutters from wild flower to wild flower alongside the road
It doesn't take much to make my heart soar with the clouds

7 kilometers of open road
under the prairie skies has me dancing in the heavens.
