Silver grass crop field, gentle wind on silver grass tops

I dance freely in these plains; bitter winds, sweet-tempered soul.
Gliding over each hill with spontaneity in my gait.

As I run, silver grass tops brush my face.
Freedom overcomes me — an inrush of joy.

I float — eagle eye perplexed at such a spectacle.
These pastures nourish my bloom.

The wind whistles between us.

Day is cold; the moment is tender.

With our fingers interlocked, the silver grass returns to its familiar sway, freely dancing as it pleases. Our footsteps — measuring those from before.

Day turns to eve; matchstick to kindling.

House turns to home.
