Horse Totem
In deep of forest he roams with might
A silken coat flaring through eve’s air;
When moon casts boldness on a steed’s rite
To journey free… far as runes declare,
My horse totem enkindling power
Directing flights in my younger days --
Where carousels merry blessed the hour
This kinship granting me strength, ablaze:
Flows his mane of auburn, a crown’s hue
Resting kindly on marshes of land;
A character known just to a few
Is grace of friendship time could withstand :
My spirit guide runs wild, yet he’s tame
For vision of light two of us hold
Through tenderness or speed, we inflame
One hearth beaming on raced dreams…consoled!
