Thoughts on the prairies as opposed to living in Vancouver, Canada.
Rain
Complicated terrain...
A serious bane...Something profane...
Silver bullets pelting the ground...Sound Surround
drip, drip, patter, patter,
Time stands still, it doesn't matter
Vancouver days...sadness ablaze
Depression a phase until the light comes out
And jubilation comes about
Joy for the rays of gold
Singing, dancing, happiness being bold
Longing for the prairie sky
A beauty that puts the majesty, the brilliancy of pastel colours mixed with an orange wash into the foreground; staring forever, emotions soaring like a thrush, singing and warbling never in a rush Feelings incarnate... you'd better believe it...masterpieces in an Albertan sky The
ocean of air a canvas for God's work--which no one can shirk; magic, loveliness divine...it's a miracle all in God's design...A prairie landscape
that can never be outdone--not even by Vancouver's allusive sun.
