Heavenly Scents During A Short Pause.

Just a pause on a bright sunny day,
to inhale natures sweet scents,
both the dried and slowly burnt,
and the fresh scent of cut hay,
Life can be a hard ride...sometimes
you just have to squat and ponder it,
anywhere the mood hits,
then simply saddle up your sorrows,
and head for the next ridge,
hoping love will giddyup alongside real soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Smile-

You always seem to strike the mark well This was as thought provoking as the image itself I especially loved these lines....

Another easy read, Artis. I take it you're in the west or mid-west. Your less "gritty" writes are of farming. Imagery. Nice. One.
