Easy Street
In this world you ran the trail that bears you name.
A free spirit’s Easy Street is an arc angel’s right of way.
You were always in control whoever held the reins.
Water, rocks, riders, logs, nothing got in your way.
I don’t know where you’ve gone on your gallop beyond the coil.
I only know when you were here there was always that place
between horse and man ankle deep in soggy soil
where time and words gave way to that quiet burnished grace.
Now you shine like the sun setting on Mars,
gliding over fences just a blink away,
living in these memories, horses, field and stars,
sun bursting through to blind us, black birds picking through the hay.
From deep behind those inscrutable eyes
you watched us. You were so unimpressed.
What you saw, what you surmised,
who knows? I only know we were blessed
Yeah, you shine like the sun setting on Mars
gliding over fences just a blink away,
living in these memories, horses, field and stars,
sun bursting through to blind us, black birds picking through the hay.
I don’t know where you’ve gone on your gallop beyond the coil.
I only know when you were here there was always that place
between horse and man ankle deep in soggy soil
where time and words gave way to that quiet burnished grace.
Now you shine like the sun setting on Mars
gliding over fences just a blink away,
living in these memories, horses, field and stars,
sun bursting through to blind us, black birds picking in the hay.
Yeah, you shine like the sun setting on Mars,
gliding over fences on a dead run through the stars.
