a place she owns

Ron Sharpe

A scramble of hooves
a thump as she falls
thwarted by ancient bones.

And still she comes
And still she comes
a rider again
to a place she owned.
to a place she owned.

I scoop her up
and she knows her way
to a spot still live and warm.

And still she comes
And still she comes
a rider again
to a place she owned.
to a place she owns.

She nestles and purrs
a kitten again
safe tonight in the night.

And still she comes
And still she comes
a rider again
to a place she owns.
to a place she owns.
