Unhurried Buffalo

unhurried buffalo sits in a corner of the prairie
watching things happen in slow intervals
hearing birds' tweets, cheeps, screeches and whistles
enjoying the sun warming his back,
recognizing nature's beauty in a soulful way
understanding the season and the climate
thanks to God's gift to him of many observant years

I think we all turn into buffallos as we get older. Observing from the sideline. Great Poem, Thank you, Caren.

Beautiful, Caren. I have watched buffalo, sometimes in a herd, just sort of moseying along in a field like this. I liked this poem very much.

I love the way they mosey along, unhurried
