The brief in few words.

Left in briefs

from being brief -

an understatement

however, a change is as good

as a never.

It was simple really

a door opened

a door closed

love in few words

I said hello

you said goodbye.

When the hello rode out

into the sunset on a goodbye

the saddle of no return

evident in the dismounting.

A horse without a saddle

a saddle that had a name

a paddock of memories

trampled underfoot

no longer fenced.

I was left bareback

ready to saddle up

with her stirrups.
