[hometext] => My cousin, John Dee Arnold, passed away recently. He was a cowboy to his dying day. I'll never forget him riding... poetry in motion. He lost the fight with cancer. I'll miss him so...
[bodytext] => Broken horseman of the plains 'neath winds blowing wild, rest awhile your weary soul Heaven's newest child. Son of Thunder riding fierce a fast and raging storm, and lightning-skilled with lariat pursuit in blazing form. Raven-haired wrangler so beloved well tanned by Summer's sun, lying 'neath the ground below another trail's begun. Your earthen-shadow left behind dropped there by Heaven's door, like an old shirt or pair of boots that doesn't fit anymore. Gone the steers and horses now all ridden, roped and tied, safely pastured, penned and placed beyond that great divide. Weary cowboy, rest your head on Zion's blissful grounds, lift up your eyes to sights unseen and ears to sainted sounds. No mournful lowing cattle call nor restless wild-eyed steed but ranchers, ropers, riders all from earth fly long-last freed. And when your eyes have seen their fill of Heavenly splendors untold, close them fast and think of those who you in their memories hold. And on the shores less fair than those you walk with old wounds healed, they wait the Day of Reunite where all shall be fulfilled. And while your ravaged body lies beneath the prairie's sod, we who remain sing hopeful prayers and breathe our sighs to God. Until that day which never ends shall dawn where all is new, those of us on farthest shore shall often think of you... When lightning flashes in the sky and billowing thunder rolls, we'll smile as in our hearts you ride with other cowboy souls.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
