I like to drive

The long grey ribbon road

Like a giant snake

Across whose back

I make my way

Watching the prairie

Flash past in bronze

And sunrise orange

To Winnipeg

The ancient gathering place

And back again

As the day winds down

To Morden

Pinancewaywining

The place along the way

That holds my heart

Far from the haunted deadlands

Where I was born

And the wind carries my breath

Away and around the world
