Happy Trails

Shay's from Muse #82

The prairies stretch out before me
there is silence in the wheat-fields
giant leafy trees are rare to see

the road goes for miles and miles
leading one to places in the mind
the journey full of trials and smiles

 galloping with the wind bareback
hooves pounding, hearts beating
riding together leaving our tracks

 exhausted we stop, taking in the sun
our wandering songs, drift in the air
some things in life you can't out-run
but, in this moment, beauty is everywhere

written for The Sunday Muse

Thank you to Carrie, Shay & Chrissa

 Author's note:  Wishing you beauty in your life
Thank you for visiting

Beyond the Vista

thundering hooves, black stallion

trail of music from here to there

sun shines high, glistening medallion

soft wispy clouds - tail of the mare...

feathers fall from a wide brim hat

and...I wonder where your heart is at

take me out to the prairie lands

in vast fields the wild bison roam

this place my spirit understands

it is here the cowboy calls home

feathers fall from a wide brim hat

and...I wonder where your heart is at

in an azure sky, I wonder why

our dreams alone hold us tight

summer days are drifting bye

fall approaches, under starlight

rounding up heartfelt songs

strumming a six string guitar

ya know guns don't right wrongs

forgiveness in  a shooting star

feathers fall from a wide brim hat

feathers fall from a wide brim hat

and... I wonder where your heart is at
