Naming the Buffalo

Behind the grassy fields that lie beyond the deserts
all the buffalo gather, to eat the plentiful plants
roaming about like wanders, with an age old trail
back and forth they come, roaming through plains
always returning in their great thundering stampede
real thunder, as the ground shakes tearing up the earth
quit then settles the newly tilled land, after the herds are gone
up and over mountains, across valleys until they reach
everytime they go only so far, turn around and come back
to the buffalo it is their lives, their hearts that keep them going
to mankind we see fields and lost crops, but to me I see the buffalo
ever so beautiful, so powerful only follows the creators wish
