A Nomad’s Life

 

A nomad’s life,

given to the chosen few,

Given to the strong,

proud, and true.

 

The smell of leather,

The sound of spurs.

 

Chrome horses in the

morning sun,

It’s time to get started

on a long,

long run.

 

The sound is of thunder

as they go by.

Nomads by the numbers

on their glorious rides.

 

If they had to explain,

you would not understand

A life, a breed,

a strong nomad.

 

The last of the cowboys,

this is so true.

The life of a nomad

will always be with you.

 

White lines on the highway,

you count them

one by one,

They go on forever

into the sun.

 

The wind blowing through

his long black mane,

He rides for days even

heads into the rain.

 

Another bright sunset

spun into colors

of gold and blue.

 

A life of a nomad

So strong and true . . .

Forever in the wind.
