A Pegasus Foal

Rearing on stardust, hungry for adventure Grazing the evergreen imaginings Beauty poised for new beginnings Infer my taming abilities as head you lower Enthral my youth with a thousand horsepower Grasping your mane, you smell my fears In my whimper, taste my naive years Tears of joy along temples doubts overpowered Your enchanted saddle is all I ever needed for comfort A pencil with no lead drew your images in the soil How I dreaded rain your grace would spoil Until I grew a thick skin from walking barefoot Palms stencil about your throbbing torso You’ve taken my innocence too far To a space cowboy on a distant star In a perpetual somersault like a coin toss To land on your wing...who needs a bicycle? When I can take off to Andromeda Time travel like a fearless gladiator With the subtlety of a pen overcome any obstacle Your quill completes my hand like ink to paper I don’t believe in superstition, but your myth Your wingspan overturns all reason and truth For me to raise my calling to more than just a whisper 07-29-2015 Sponsor: Charlotte Puddifoot Contest Name: All That You Are
