Child to woman

 of the road.

 

A life

smelling of woodsmoke.

 

Untamed wayfarer

wild as the wind

hard as rock.

 

Upholder

of the old traditions.

 

Traveller

unburdened by time

unwearied by inclement weather.

 

Steeped in the priority

of loving horses

and all things natural.

 

Vagabond follower

of the hearts directions.

 

Dance partner

of  Mother Freedom.
