Chimera
and in my dream fantasy ...
I find my beloved Chimera horse
he is quite beautiful, magical and wild
with great feathery wings breathtaking
his mane is a flowing river when he runs
his coat striking brownish shades of brindle
we leap and fly in my dreamy dream ...
~ over forests lush in hues of green
and valleys deep ... dark with mystery
my own hair a golden river streaking in the night
oh, my heart swells with love for Chimera
as the moon sails across the sky
Chimera and I drink
in the night and stars ...
he knows my emotions like when I am sad
and gives me kisses and nudges his affection
sometimes we lay on the cool grass
my head on his body looking up at the twinkling above
and he feels so real to me
not a figment and not an illusion
but a real breathing lovely horse
he just happens ... to have wings ...
~ he found me in a dream years ago
and comes to me unbidden to soothe
my weather-stained soul and broken heart
oh, moon, your light is failing ...
... and Chimera must fade away
