Prairie Dawn

by Caitlin Oleson

The bright blessed sun
Casts its maternal gaze
Upon the golden sheaths
And sky-blue flax valleys
�
Crimson kisses the horizon,
Breathing life into otherwise
Dull and dreary plains
�
Every dip and hilltop
Is washed pure with the nurturing
Light of a thousand, united souls
Meshing together in the sacred flame
That we call�a sun
�
This light rises majestically up from the curves
Of the magnificent trees
Who forever reach for the unattainable
Delight of dawn's first sweet kiss
�
The beauty of rural nature can be shared with 
Any and all who do not refuse to look.
