It is there beyond and within the voice of wind in winter, of rain on summer soil, of leaves in autumn and birds in spring. It lingers beyond the thunder or under the frozen crunch of snow. This is the voice of a loved one that reaches across the miles to grasp the inner yearning in a warmth as close as mist wrapped days or log fire cabin night. This is a voice like the mystic's where more is asked than told. This is the voice of the prairie that speaks to her own. Poem written by Glenn's father in law W.J. (Bill) McKenzie 1989
