Ridecamp: [RC] Song for Spider p. 1

Jon Steven has composed a poem for Spider, which I thought was really good;
It is forwarded with his permission.  I'll send it in five parts to not be
too long.

Spider’s Ravine  - by Jon Steven for my friend Spider  - July 25, 2002

There is light at Forrest Hill to lift your spirit
The Deamons of the day lay slain and you survived
Strands of steel no match for bonding heartstrings
You are happy – he is ready – you will ride

And You point him towards the meadow at Francisco’s
You  promise him he is as safe as he’s  ever been
Your sit proud upon his back and scratch his withers
As you head him out towards Spider’s Ravine

And when the sickle handed Reaper meets you on the trail
You go down through the rock, the brush and shale
And what your eyes will see your mind will try to hide
As he goes down his eyes are open wide
your heart will scream as the mountain tears him away
You lungs explode commanding him to stay
Your clutching arms find only soil where he has been
Your eyes won’t see what the night alone has seen
His fate is at the end of Spider’s ravine.
