Wild Horses

beauty in motion
wild horses roaming freely
galloping across the plains
not meant to saddle
for mans’ labors or pleasures
nor whispers of promises
man cannot fulfill 
the call of the wild
like a shout from the heavens

Men cannot fulfill the call of the wild...wild horse are so powerful we should not try to tame them, just let the beauty run free :)

Oh, great song! Wasn't thinking of it when I wrote this surprisingly. My mom and dad were groovy rockers from that era so I grew up on the classic rock. My mom was CRAZY about Jagger and Jim Morrison. Glad you like this one. Like I said before, I never know where the winds gonna blow me.
