Changing Plains Distant rumblings of thunder, Lightning bolts flash asunder, Spring rains sweep the plains Reviving the earthen quilt again. Spring wafts on warming winds It's heady fragrance blends, A hint of bountiful days ahead As winter grudgingly lies to bed. Awakening from a winter slumber Wildflowers from down under Sleepily arise from their comfy bed, Over the plains they'll spread. The prairie grasslands will green Painting vista landscape scenes As winter exits natures back door And spring boldly enters once more. Faraway craggy mountain peaks Release snow flows into creeks, Thousands of watery fingers race Down the slopes to find their place. Over the plains spring is coming, Soon new life will be humming, Slowly drab hues of brown scenery Will transform to beautiful greenery. Where the buffalo and antelope Wander beyond the hill slopes, Where grassland creatures thrive, The vast plains are coming alive. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
