A Dance I Don't Control (a song for the overwhelmed on AC)

From the east, thunder/
my horse free-foots it, shying/
I clap hand to hat/

trail partnerships/
leave marks in our deepest hearts/
going on and on/

I don't see my tears/
the trail goes underwater/
I don't hear my laugh/

the trail's silent/
I don't feel my bad fortune/
just a saddle burr/

it's joy and sadness/
in a dance I don't control./
From the east, thunder./

for maelstrom and all others similarly situated
