Pain In the Blaze of Glory....

As I continue this journey
riding into the horizon
of the setting sun....

Will the trials of endurance
melt away as I enter the sun's light
to be forever just a memory
of once was....or,
will I be granted the peace my mind
constantly yearns.....
and be allowed the freshness
of melting snow,to wash over me
and rid the pains accumulated
this lifetime in this world has so
unexpectedly cast down on me.....

Without them,
there would be no strength of character,
with them,
lingers a constant battle....

Battle weary,
I continue into the blazing sun
as I ride,only to disappear into the light
leaving the past behind me,since
the darkness cannot bear to follow
and gaze upon such blazing glory.....
