The Mustang Years

I've come back to the desert
Where I came long years ago.
My pal and I caught horses
For a traveling rodeo,
We learned to know the secrets
Of this mighty, awesome land,
A-trailing after mustangs
And we got to know each band.
Now some are gone to bullets
And the winters take some too.
There's some have gone for dog food
And their hooves made into glue.
Some of them are rounded up
And adopted out they say,
But some still roam this country,
For I saw their tracks today.
Lying here upon the ground
And just staring at the sky,
I guess it must be raining,
For I don't know how to cry.
My cheeks are wet with something.
I suppose it must be tears,
Reliving all the memories
Of those vanished, mustang years!

Nice, my friend, and I can understand the pangs of the 'reliving' .... well done.
