The Silver Outline
The Silver Outline
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
" And God took a handful of southerly wind, blew his breath upon it and
created the horse." ~ Bedoin Legend
In the magical moonlight
The silver outline you see;
Is a greyish white Mustang,
A wild horse I am.
Rambling free in the vast grasslands...
The long coarse skeins, my dark grey manes;
Dwells the blustering wind.
Early dawn
When air is wrapped in fleecy clouds,
I swim in the silent waters deep.
Mermaid locks leave behind a trail.
A canter, that's a hush, a heart that mellows;
Yet so strong , yet so rugged.
Thunder in the mountains,
Rolling fierce rain.
No fear I know,
As I go galloping, pacing long wild grasses..
Waves in a stormy sea.
Artists for eons strove,
To hold in their brushes
Lightning beauty.
Spirit unlassoed, in my knowing eyes
Hid behind my long eyelashes white.
Mystery unfathomable,
In my heart lies;
Wings which unfurl as I fly,
Taming the wind, blowing a gale.
Wild horse of the prairies, I am.
