Poem "Trailblazer"

[theherrings3]

I ride along this lonely road,
starry, desert night,
a coyote’s howl echoes the distance

I travel this lush stretch,
this green mountain valley,
a rain cloud settles in overhead

I ride along this lonely road,
Bible in hand, horse in tow,
a trailblazer

I travel to far away lands,
in search of a bountiful harvest,
preparing the way for the gospel

Upon this valley I ride,
an anointed messenger,
blazing the trail
