I wrote this when I was very young. Nearly 60 years ago. I don't have a copy of it, but I recall word for word and want to make a record of it.
ride the pinto horse
across the pampas plains
ride a steady course
don't pull on those reins
the pinto can see
beyond your plans
you've got to look closely
through your hands
I rode the pinto horse
I was a gaucho plain
unto the very source
of any man's pain
the pinto could see
beyond my plans
I had to look closely
through my hands
tonight the moon is full
in steady force
to light on its way
the pinto horse
the pinto can see
beyond your plans
you've got to see closely
through your hands
Lovely poem. Soothing.
