Driving out 522, winding my way through
Were going east, towards the mountain peaks
Feeling the static turn to a humming silence
Not feeling the weight, in fact it is absent
Turning off highway 2
The trees open up to a delicious view
White fences, which hold with what seems,200 horses
The warmth of their scent circles and binds
With everything on earth and the heavens combined
Sugar thoughts floating through my head
Waking me, quietly, from my city bed
Distant and beautiful and carefully composed
Nuisance and vexation are simply disposed
Like little fingers the air touches me
The river is giving me its best melody
The dust from the earth circles my feet
One look to my friend and I know she is pleased
Her lips are shaped in the most pacific smile
Still quiet, now, for almost a mile
Theres a rhythm to the horses plodding along
They too feel we belong.in this place, in this hidden place
Far far beyond the proverbial rat race
I wish I could melt into the protein of these hooves.
My spirit, my being, its been removed
And put into a place that I never want to leave.
In this place, in this way is where I am meant to be.
