Dragons in the Gum Tree Grove

Second Narration

I took you to my prairie home.
The snows and winds terrified you.
Your spirit parched in a treeless land.
You longed to be where hills and trees
cut off the sky's immensity.
I took you down to the sea one winter,
down to the green hills that look
over the gray waters. I saw
you had come home to your spirit's center.
We left the prairies to the winds and gophers.
