Snow Fences

Highway 85 Between Newcastle, WY. and Mule Creek Junction

                            Snow Fences

Between Mule Creek Junction and Newcastle
Old snow blown against snow fences
Waves of snow tempest of frozen prairie
Beauty and raw in brilliant light

Purity covers the high plains
Respect for the season and power of creation
Can gaze into beauty
Today calm of storm past

Fury relented days ago
Left with a white ocean
Adrift in sparseness
Covered in holy white

Dressed in purity
Displaying splendor
Awe and wonder
Draws me to Father
