The Wind of the Grasslands

The wind stampedes across the tundra like a herd of wild horses

Rising and falling at every role of a hill

Sweeping acros the land erasing the slightest trace of a living creature

The animals huddle toether to escape the haunting lashes of the wind

The wind whips into the faces of those left out as though it were the mane of a wild horse

Howling moans come from the small clifts as the wind flys over it's edge

The sky darkens as the wild free wind gallops across the prarie

The sun slowly fades in the fast moving clouds that are tormented by the wind

Drops of rain start to fall like descending angels

More and more angels drop from the heavens

Lightening flashes and thunder cracks

Small animals scurry down their holes as the wind moves faster

Suddenly the sun breaks forth

And the storm is gone more quickly than it came

Like a spooked herd of horses the wind races off to the unknown
