Alpha

As lightening strikes the canyon walls and eagles give a haunting call, there comes a mighty sound; With dancing hooves that seem too small he prances, standing proud and tall then stomps to stand his ground, Alpha stallion may be found. The mustang runs to greet his mares and like the flight of lovebird pairs, his path is free and wild. He climbs the mountain carved like stairs with all forefathers, gathered there. The herd has gathered side by side within the canyon as they ride, the ancient ways of old. As heads are lifted in the pride to gather power in their stride, they won't be bought or sold. When wildfire soars to conquer age and eagles fly in urgent rage to give a warning cry, the herd will gather by their sage accepting death to be their wage together shall they die.
