MUSTANGS The ground shudders, and shakes, Under pounding hooves. Echoing against canyon walls. Fast and furious wild hearts beat, Keeping equal pace, with the prairies, Wide divide. From within hell's fiery furnace, Tempered muscle drives motions sinew. Behold evolution's die hard breed, Built for no other purpose except, Excessive Speed. Racing along at razors edge, Accelerating testing endurance's, Brute strength. Mustangs roam god's vast expanse, Deserts devils burning blazing trails. Encounters ghostly figures, dwelling amongst, Forbidden territories reservations. Dust clouds shadow creatures alluding, Humanities intensive detection. Harnessing destiny's forgotten beasts, Freedom's native horses challenging, Limitless domain. Blackened pitch melting seamlessly, Mixing with hewed grays. Heaven's canvas erupts. Storms rage splits lightening’s, Aftershock, Herding horse flesh towards, Maximum Resolution. Divine specters haunting thunders, boarder lands, slick footed range warriors. Traveling hidden roads ancient paths. Natures raw power hardens brutalities Magnificence. Rival Arabians fight to prove dominates. One lone stallion stands, dark bristling mane, Brushed by evenings cooling breeze. The leader takes cliffs highest plateau. As silences experienced guardian, He watches cautiously. Resting at sunsets twilight hour, Quenching thirsts, unyielding desires. Next to waters crystal streams they ease. Gently relieving tension's strains Beside one another. Comforts unity beneath reflective, Moonlight's softness. Mares and colts whinny in graduates, Thanks. Soon it shall come upon them, Once more. Dawn's rays cross horizons palette, Under universal skies. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN

Stunning imagery you have penned. It is so vibrant and real that I can almost feel the ground shaking under their hooves.
