Over my life I've spent so much time it seems
Doing the very things that made sense to me
And one was the best kind of meditation I've found
That allowed me to become all I then needed to be
Out in a place where I could forget all the woe
With the worlds many attitudes and confusion
With total peace of mind and giving me the time
To get back to reality , ignore the many illusion
Just spending time way out alone in the country
Checking the fences or the dams and stock
Or simply exercising a very good old friend
Getting away for awhile out in a back block
I've spent much time with my horse and my dog
With saddle bags,some tucker, a quart pot and tea
Away on my own for awhile along a far country mile
The best kind of real meditation I felt then for me
With time to think and maybe not think at all
Just taking all of the time that I then needed
To get back for awhile to just being myself
And for myself I must say it always succeeded
There's something about sitting upon a good horse
And getting way out from noise and the woe
That life sometimes insists that you have every day
Out to a place of peace on earth that you know
Maybe a note book and pen just in case at the time
The wilderness produces words of a beautiful rhyme
As the lyrics to many a real country song
Came from out in the country most of the time
There was then nothing that could then ever replace it
It's a thing I've always had since so very young
A meditation that I so loved taking part of in life
Among the most tranquil things that 'Ive ever done.
