"Winter Buffalo"

Herds of Winter Buffalo
search their feedings grounds
sometimes depending on winter fat
digging through snow drift mounds

Creating deep paths in valley floors
while pawing for hidden straw
makes easy paths for hungry wolves
watching for hidden flaw

Together they huddle at night
sharing the warmth and protection
knowing instinctively the weakest
and huddling round their selection

Majestic and mighty
and fierce to behold
gentle giants of Montana
against the snow glow gold

Perservering thru long dark winter
springtime releasing hard cold
new life to give all important
showing off for all to behold

Almost depleted by the hand of man
as he selfishly killed the race
we've brought balance once again
and restored them to their rightful place
