Horses Beauty

My hooves sound like thunder upon the ground,
My coat is of the blackest night,
My mane shines like a thousand suns,
My tail is as graceful as the river.

My cries cannot be heard with the ears,
They can only be heard by the heart,
The eyes cannot see me,
The heart can sense me.

When my name is spoken,
I raise my head to it’s sound,
All other creatures revere me,
I am the ruler of the forest.

I can stop a fire with my voice alone,
The river becomes still when I near it,
The wind disappears at the sight of me,
I drive rain clouds into hiding.

I am nothing but beauty,
A voice on the wind,
A ripple in the still water,
The stillness if the forest.

I am the horse.
