A Golden Steed Gallops

A Golden Steed Gallops A golden steed gallops in my dreams as of late echoing sounds of my so darkly imagined fate chastising my wicked deeds of an ill-spent youth increasing the chasm between bold lies and truth. Flowing trails of gleaming pain fly deep with that race as precious , sweet memories burn up without a trace flying away , names and faces of girls I so easily left broken up like fine crystals falling from a high shelf. An invisible rider brings racing steed to an abrupt halt as it screams out, "yes you, it's all your damn fault"! why did you not live a sweeter, kinder and gentler life blame is on you for lost true love , loss of your first wife! Golden steed stands at a graveyard filled with no headstones lying about are several sun-bleached and broken white bones dark wind races in whispering in a very raspy low moan you are so dead , now you lay cold, dark and so, so alone! 06-13-2014

Wow! that is some dream, Robert. Now that you're older does it present itself more clearly and have more significance. What a fine picture you have painted. I can see each scene as it unfolds. Thanks for sharing this one. Going into Faves.... Robert.

Than you my friend. I am very pleased and honored that you chose it to fav!!! I have not had that dream since I married my current wife ten years ago. My ex-wife had always warned me to never do her wrong or she would haunt me in my dreams! For three years I believe she did!
