So far away the prairies range my love
The vistas
And the memories
As well
We pause our gaze in recognition now
Because we passed this way once long ago
And in a hollow rests the storied barn
Its shadows touched
With dusty sunlit swirls
Your hand is resting on my leg my love
Your dreamy eyes are crinkled
In a smile
As both of us recall our visit here
Down by the scoured channel's mossy damp
Just recently the fires
Were burning bright
The charring of the grass turned landscapes black
And crimson flickering flames devoured the grass
Before the countryside was greened
Once more
Such stunning landscapes with an emerald bright
That glowed as did your eyes when first we met
We hold our hands and stroll along the lane
Remember phantoms 'neath the creaking eaves
We laugh recalling just how fun it was
Exploring all the secrets
Of the plains
And feeling gentle love
Complete
Renewed
It has to be well sought with seeking hands
The touch
You know so well my love
My love
So hold my fingertips within your palms
And feel the moisture passion often brings
The warmth
That only true love deigns
To give
The kiss of everlasting love is joined
We glide to future ardors in the night
We seek the consummation
And delight
Saluting with our smiles the shadowed barn
That holds the dusty sunlit swirls of love
