PRIOR DAYS AND DISTANT MOONS

Looking back....with humor!

PRIOR DAYS AND DISTANT MOONS

In early morning misty haze,
Where horses stood to graze...
I found myself 'neath lodgepole pine,
With nothing there but time.

The dismount from my patient steed,
Was painful...yes indeed!
These aching joints and stiffened knees,
Were grateful for reprieve.

My prior days and distant moons,
Have come and gone too soon!
And I'm just wonderin' what to do,
To make me feel less blue.

Guess I could get myself a rope,
And tie it 'round my neck...
I'd end my misery once for all,
'Twould be no joke....oh heck!

Now that's no way to treat my bod...
I AM a child of God!
So I'll just get back on my horse,
And gallop through this sod!

:) sometimes we just have to dig deep ...love the homespun tune to this ...and i think of my parents and their lives through the dust bowl and great depression .. that i consider my depressions ... doesn't hold a twig to it does it!? ;) i like this a lot! pretty uplifting and freeing for me!

ps. getting out of bed is like your protagonist getting off the horse as far as stiff goes ... oh my! ;}
