Ride To Die

Missing image

I ride to die when pain  takes over

becomes so great I can not focus

throw up my cut back on my fastest horse

BlackCrow star gazer  loves to fly

Lock up my dogs nothing I love goes

pack my thirty eight if we go down

he will break his legs

fifty fifty we will I will take him out

If I can.

 

bridle with chain bit best to meet the angels with

give him his head and we break before we are out the gate

run Crow  run set me free he is wild just like me

jumping logs scraping trees out to the hills up to the fields

and mountains we run wild not looking down singing out

my grandmothers primal Indian call run run pound the ground faster never letting up crow is made for this he will run until he goes down that is foundation blood....I will ride until I die

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

If you ever ride for the ultimate rush, then you know.
If you ride to let the pain go the stress out.

    See, women do well with horses, because they are big, dumb and dangerous! And yet you can get them to do what you want them to do. Sound familiar?

    The bond between a horse and a woman is legendary. I must confess this caused a lot of fear in me...

    But you know? Danger is a way people measure themselves. It is a right of passage. Children are kept to safe, they are unacustom to danger then do this with a car, and get dead.
    Im glad you have this outlet and way to enjoy and love nature.

      I think you are correct in this, I taught my daughter to take calculated risks. Very hard to do
      after you lose a child but something you MUST do.
      Horses are never bomb proof never.

    Very deep indeed!!!!  I love this piece!!! It is very well written and the flow of words chosen is so smooth.. I think the feeling you speak have been on many others minds at one time or another.... I know they have on mine, but I shake myself back to reality with my HIGHER POWER, GOD!!!! I think everyone needs a HIGHER POWER to turn to.... I hope you can find yours if that's what you are searching for..... The pains in our lives can be very strengthening if overcome.... "What doesn't kill us will make us stronger!" In this I truly believe... I know I'm a stronger person because of all the pain and suffering I've endured in my lifetime... Best wishes to you.... You are a fantastic writer!!!

    I feel afraid for you

    It is beautiful and well written, a masterpiece but I hate it because it makes me afraid for you. I've done a lot of dangerous things out of bravado, but I need and audience

    well done sister pot.
    while I was reading this poem of yours, I kept thinking that there seems to be underlying feeling in this. sometimes we have different ideas of what being free means to us. maybe your is when you are no longer in pain.. maybe, maybe I am wrong. but that is what I got out of this.

    How interesting. Even though all through this piece there are constant references to horses, saddles, and riding, somehow the emotion had little to do with riding at all. What poured out here was the call for freedom. Well done.

    Intersting. It sounds like it came from the heart! yes if only we could all die in the saddle... I have a friend that died going over a jump... it was the best way he could have gone (: Pls tell me a little more about this if you get a chance?
