Following a bare dirt path
Seated on an old leather saddle
Blonging to a firey black stallion
Galloping faster than the wind
Around tight bends
Over hills and fallen trees
Nothing can make us stop.
Not even a cool blue stream
Filled to the brim with fish
With deer adn rabits along the bank
With so much room they felt they weren't squished,
So they let us pass.
The sun rises over the mountains
Unveiling new wonders.
Making it possible
To run from all stress and fear
Through the quiet forest
Whose only other inhabitants
Are animals and a lonley mountaineer.
The sun shines through small gaps,
But tall leafy trees protect us.
As they fill the air with
Pine and cedar fragrance.
A vine of purple flowers lines the path,
Soon to be smashed
By a heard of wild horses wrath,
And later be eaten
As they sweep back through like a broom,
Clearing teh forest of all undergrowth,
And the purple flower's perfume.
We stop by the river
So I can eat my picnic lunch.
The stallion munches
On sweet green grass
While listening for
The wild horses thundering hooves,
So we can overtake them,
And once again lead teh heard
Along the bare dirt path,
Around grooves,
Over hills, and fallen trees,
Through crystal clear blue streams,
And fields full of clover.
Nothing can make us stop
Galloping forever
Akibg a bare dirt path.
