The Arabian

He came riding thru the south wind An Arabian so white and so pure Rich mystery and wildness in him seem combined His ancient eyes held a magical lure A bond of trust, so strong, so rare I shared with this desert wanderer He was an answer to my humble prayer An able partner to this adventurer He flew without wings on this hot land Talking with spirits all around His own master, under his own command The mark on his head glistened like a crown Prophets and seers on this ancient breed did ride An honour to be chosen by this revered guide For Sara Kendrick’s contest ‘Sonnet Me’
