The Oval

Racing the oval of tide
Watching the sun and moon collide

Riding on horses in the oval of fate
Saddling on courses in the ring of slate

Horses in breeds of colors and shade
Forces in creeds of odors and glade

Mares and lasses of cold and wintry grounds
Grasses and races on parch, dusty mounds

Sun speaks of myths and bounds of horses' blether
Moon tweaks on blithes and squally weather

Sun and moon are light and dark horses
Scuttling, bustling in many races

Sprinting is a long distance course
Glinting and weltering without remorse

Humans breathe as horses, treading and running with reins
Born to win in the oval... praying, striving with strong veins!
