Sun, Sand & Soapweed
|
The sun hangs in a cloudless sky and the sand shimmers with the heat. It's summertime in the Sandhills and there's nowhere you can retreat. Even the sharp soapweed spears sag, taproots seeking water below. The grass is turning brown again beneath the summer sun's hot glow. Forgotten is the growth of spring and winter's snow is months away... it's just sun, sand and the soapweed, surviving, waiting for that day. Although the summer sun is high the Sandhills are resting a bit dormant 'til winter's moisture comes to bring a renewed life to it. ©2005 by Clark Crouch. All rights reserved. |
