Prairie Portrait

by Brandy Robertson

"It's too cold, It's too flat"
Chime the age-old compaints
Yet we continue to linger
With non-existent restraints

All around us creations
Of new life can be seen
As a dull brownish canvas
Explodes into vibrant greens

The sun rears its face 
Well into the night
With a sauna-like heat
And high definition light

We are awestruck by colors
As the greens change to golds
With a newfound appreciation
Watching the portrait unfold

In a world blanketed in white
It's early to sleep for the sun
The day possesses a crispness
Felt entirley by everyone

Leading a quiet existence
This vast open space
Possessing surreal beauty
A display of elegance and grace
