Trail Ride

Photo credit:   Helen Lacey
Sick of the world
I drive to the farm
Pull on my boots
And head to the barn

Grab a halter
And walk out to the gate
Where my good horse
Patiently waits

Throw on my saddle
Cinch it up tight
Ride out of the barn
Into the woods, out of sight

Surrounded by nature
I began to unwind
A big sigh of relief
Left my cares and worries behind

Riding down the trail
Over logs, under trees
The smell of grass growing
Afloat on the breeze

The world is sad
Bitter, and course
But today nothing matters
Except me and my horse
