The White Horse In My Dreams

The horse in my mind, gallops away,
His hooves, beat inside my skull, 
Like the waves, that pound, upon our strong hull
I hold tight, but the vision won’t stay

I see him now, that mighty white stallion
Galloping freely, upon the wet shore
The sound of his hooves, makes me need him the more
An escape from this old pale galleon

And so at last, we row to the beach
I have travelled so far for this dream
Prancing majestically, his eagerness shows
yet still nervous, he stays out of reach
Slowly he paces toward me, snorting a cloud of steam
I know now my journey is over, as he gently nuzzles my nose




I have selected the theme of 'Horses'

Nick, I love the image of you trying to get close to this magnificent whte horse -- literally a dream horse -- and then finally getting near enough for the horse to nuzzle you. Wonderful imagery! Surely a winner in Constance's contest. Best wishes, Carolyn
