Lonely Cowgirl (Response to SEA's Lonely Cowboy) I've rode these trails once to often And I don't see your horse anymore I thought you were once like me Kicking the dust, a true Earth being You looked so pretty under summer's moon Dusts in your hair, alive like the wind out there We rode in the mountains, you couldn't get enough Always so swift, I chased you with a cowboy's love Your energy enthralled me; I loved you with the stars The delicate mountain orchid, I gave you with my heart You let it fly in the air, to fall alone along the valley rim Then rode off to unknown trails, a spirit of the wind I remember the moon in your eye's, on sweet summer nights Many a lonely cowboy falls from your hold released like a kite Love can be simple to the heart of a cowgirl, till time catches up The soul has only one heart to give, and one life to feel its touch… Years can go when your horse is swift with lifes glow, All those trails that you ride, you don't even know The horizon is all you see, the lure of a white sand beach Buts its always ahead in the distance and beyond your reach… Slow down and find love, its that blur beneath your feet, Just a seed in the Earth, what you sow you shall reap.

I never meant to offend.....what else can i say but I am sorry? don't worry, I won't be back, if this is the forgiveness that a new poet is shown |

Your energy enthralled me; I loved you with the stars The delicate mountain orchid, I gave with my heart You let it fly in the air, along the valley rim Then rode off to unknown trails, a spirit of the wind I remember the moon in your eye's, on sweet summer nights And many a lonely cowboy is now the dust from your heart Love can be simple to the heart of cowgirl, till time catches up The soul has only one heart to give, and one life to feel its touch… =============== wow p-man.. this is so full of emotion and and cool imagery... very well written and expressed ... its so nice to have cowboys in here romantics of the range perfect reponse later-ride-em-cowboy-gator me |

Parker, you would have to be one of the very few sensitive cowboys I have met. This lovely poem shows you are just that. Dee [This message has been edited by Dee (edited 10-13-2000).] |

"The soul has only one heart to give, and one life to feel its touch…" .. .. .. .. .. "Slow down and find love, its that blur beneath your feet, Just a seed in the Earth, what you sow you shall reap." awesome lines parker.. and "slow down" is often the best advise..i know many who keep too busy for love..they miss out.. thats just not something i want to miss out on... hugs, dg "Don't MAKE Me come down there."
