Tribute To Drifter

It has been one of those days.
It is dark. It is late.
The moonlight glistens on the richness
of your coat.
You are majestic.
Your body is powerful
and soothing beyond the tension.
Into the peaceful night
we float.
You are warm. You are real
and the essence of life once again becomes clear.
I feel God walking in your footsteps
and I have nothing to fear.
Your wisdom is more than I have touched.
Your silent trust has taught me much.
You have galloped me over miles of life's bumpy course.
I thank you. I love you.
You are my friend.
