Riding, galloping into deserts and mountains, resting br in the saddle, feeling at ease in my particular element br of life. br br Securing the contemplative serenity of this soul is all br that is ever needed or craved for. br br Darkened nights, lightened moon, searching vast desert br plains looking for a self that's lost. br br Never being found, continuing searching alone forever, br an emptiness always hiding within, keeping me company br over dark and dusty trails of a lifetime.br br RoseAnn V.
