wail, this prairie
spans.
The aching wind
cries, a heart
fractured
splintered like ice.
Laughs
a spirit uplifted
joyous
in praise.
Shatters
all we thought
we understood
leaving behind
fresh, free air.

Hmm. The piece for me sings of a rebirth (embodied in the final stanza), and well-utilizes the nature visuals in building to that end. Interesting piece - only question is, is there a particular reason the first word and/or letter of each line is differently colored and set apart from the rest? Doesn't detract or anything. Just curious.
