Windmill



Windmill

a treasure in the hills of sand,
making life an option,
in this landscape of grass,
pumping cool clear water from the ancient sands,
a miracle of engineering,
opening the west to settlement,
in a land thought uninhabitable,
when blessed with wind,
the water flows and all is well,
but if the wind dies,
actions must be taken,
and cattle driven to water elsewhere,
and life no longer certain.
