Land with No Water

Empty plains-
Grass waving in the wind
That chills and brings the winter,
And frozen tears onto my face
While I wish for spring to
Bring me back to life.

Empty plains-
A lonely wasteland,
“If there were water
We would stop and drink.”
A mind full of if
Only wishing for an answer.

Empty plains-
Free of the buffalo
That pummel and pound into
Oblivion every living blade.
They are feeding
In the better places.

Empty plains-
Where a soul struggles
To find hope and rest
Warmth or shelter.
But everyone must wander
Alone for a time.
