A rewrite of an oldie from my '99 archives. His crystal blue smile Peeking thru wrinkles of tan Faraway gaze Ageless story of man Lifetimes of choking trail dust Many meetings with defiant mustangs Has left his body bent and twisted like a sea pine Leathery hands have tamed the fiercest broncs Now gently cradle a newborn foal Fingers like claws Touch like velvet Gentle caresses on a downy nose Belie the strength in those hands of iron Tender mercy Angel smile The old cowboy Has traveled many a mile |
