In This Olden Soul, a Fast Dancing Horse

In This Olden Soul, A Fast Dancing Horse In this olden soul, a fast dancing horse lively one I now can not ride, of course. Looking on this world, it races away saddened by hidden darkness holding sway. With echoing hoofs tapping stronger beats I dream of my love between silken sheets. Her long, pretty hair with its golden sheen as I recall, fantasies of my teens. Pounding of my heart when love's race is on sorrowful stampede when my love has gone. At such pain, horse speeds into the mists I beat wailing walls, with my bloody fists. In this olden soul, a fast dancing horse its premature death, my greatest remorse. Robert J.
