I will tell you of the azure sky
of the endless prairie
air and space
how the breeze feels
how the grasses and flowers smell and sound
as they move in the wind
how it feels to be small again in the best way
to be yourself and nothing more
don't even think about it out here
you could even throw your head back and laugh
I will tell you about moments spent looking close to the ground
the nearest delight ordinary magic
and then the next moment
your gaze is drawn to the far reaches of vision
each hill invites you to climb and see
on and on farther each time
I will tell you what it's like to share a moment in the sun
with your daughter
seeing it through her eyes for the first time
to watch her walk the trail with her head up shoulders back
the energy of joy the peace of being
