Daisy May-My Horse

Daisy May--My Horse- you have four little hooves no bigger than coins- but oh-what you do to the earth- Before I can call you- you're here- you walk the forbidding mountains- stone and thorns- by my side- in the forest you tramp through old growth and still water- in the foot hills you gallope along unnavigable land- across rivers and silent streams- and at the hour when the light of the world unravels like a flag- you walk beside me- a dauntless- tireless companion- but oh-my God What you do to the earth- It seems only yesterday that you were born in our fields- opening your eyes- like two excited stars- two little bells- You are a beautiful filly- a vibrant life- fragrant and blooming- a firefoot- in southern mountains of British Columbia- your heart sings with mine- but oh-God Daisy May- What you do to the earth-California Blue
