Osage trails            westward,

snowdrifts bridle high.

Cattle graze on

                              open range-

sunsets thrill the eyes.

 

Jackrabbit dust on

                  honeysuckle bloom,

scissor-tails snip the air.

Rattlers turn you on your heels-

                  to face a prairie sky.

 

Illinois son in

                     old “Cow Town”,

Gallatin to Montgomery.

Coffee, Lane, Ole John Brown-

                   along the Verdigris.

 

Death Alley to      Death Valley,

Onion Creek- eternity.

Deer lie down on

                           Buffalo Grass-

I lie down at peace.
