I Lay My Head

I lay my head upon the softness of its mane My white charger, no knight for a swain as I am the gallant rider looking for love. Riding the green valleys with mountains above, looking for hope in natures fertile plain A dream, a carousel of tears and pain With bobbing horses making a colourful train Flying above a sure sign of hope, a dove I lay my head Imagination in play as I search in vain Why from happiness must I abstain My empty heart crying out to those above Praying each night, please bring me love Grabbing a handful of the silky white mane I lay my head

Wow another one I missed. This is definitely one of my favorites. I can't even make a long winded psychological comment lol, just wow on topic, imagery, and the way you used language to express everything. Great job.
