The prairie sleeps the skies weigh low
Her tales on horseback fade like smoke
Pure as a star her dreams take flight
Yet vanish fast into the night
The wind that brushes her gentle gaze
Holds silent answers to her days
To travel the world to teach the young
Or to escape what fate has sung
In the snow who hears the call
The songs grow faint the stars withdraw
Her tears fall quiet but softly flow
To warm the frozen earth below
Life is fleeting a fragile flame
Etched with sorrow joy and pain
Her fathers shadow fades away
Her mother rests where cold winds stay
An aging hand soothes her brothers fears:
The storms will break the skies turn clear
Your sister rides to lands untold
Where dreams are spun from threads of gold
In the snow who hears the call
Time cuts deep and past dreams fall
Who says pain is a thorny trail
Its the earths question to the veil
The scars she bore the storm she braved
Left marks on hearts not just her grave
Her journeys end a fleeting sigh
Becomes the wind beneath the sky
In the snow she hears the song
A voice that carries her along
Beneath the heavens she plants a seed
To bloom where others find their need
She never left she lives in air
In every song she lingers there
In the snow who hears the call
Her gentle laughter moves through all
