It was but for a moment that the world was truly mine, 

silence swallowing the alley of Shriver as a crow circled the gray skin in the sky.

Daring Detectives delight me
Dreaming dastardly dilemmas
Deliberating discerning dialogues

Such a wonderful sight 
A horse going into flight 
Captured in a lens

You see it is the beauty of a horse that can never cease 
With its artistic message reminding us all of the word peace
