Buffalo Grass

Strength in her beauty

Buffalo Grass

she came from out of nowhere

and took root in my open heart

tough as the mid western prairie

once she got in it was just the start

heated words never burned her out

she stayed strong waiting for the rain

the tears of fears quench her thirst

still there even through all the pain

her words of love kept me fed

when I doubted the reasons

visions of her Indian dance fill my head

keeping the beat in my heart

she will always be here even when she goes

like the millions of years gone past

her strength and beauty will forever live on

spreading forever like buffalo grass

Amazing poem! I really liked the racy that you compared a lady's strength and beauty to 'buffalo grass'. I really liked the imagery and certainly think that your choice of words is amazing. Good day to you!

Gomer,
This is really beautiful and so touching. Heartfelt.
The buffalo is really such an amazing, and beautiful animal. But I dont believe this is about the buffalo itself.
What a wonderful heartfelt piece Gomer, and now a tear drops then another.
Very well written, truly enjoyed this one.
You're awesome
