Black Horse

There's an insatiable black horse 
running wild undilutedly 
between the tree's  
running elegantly, softly like a breeze 
he does so with such majestic ease 
oh what a tease 
I do not have his knees to please 
I glance at his joy and freedom 
wishing for a single moment 
that I, could be him 
gliding with an outstretched upwards chin 
a rainbow shone up high 
printed against a very dull sky 
as I follow with my eyes, to reach the end 
I do not see a pot of gold, as the stories do depend 
but I see better, than all mans gold and worth 
I see a wild stallion 
a horse on a patch of extended untouched earth 
running free against the wind I see 
oh that horse I long to be, 
he runs as if he has no care
An untamed mane blowing viscously everywhere 
he is a soul filled with dare 
he is off 
boundless 
he has no rope, securing him still 
he has but a free wondrous will.
