deeper care

it saddens me,

as summer lingers

longer than a ancient eye

when greed is merely

lust to finger,

future fathomed reasoned strife

and quest for power

covers nature,

buried in such sheets of ice

conceived in minds

of reason rendered

commonplace as world combines

in mixture melded

ghosts of Mother

tearing creatures right to strive,

in beat of hoof and cantered stride

rich muscle rippled glossy hide

where hand is softer guide

to know

a spirits presence to survive

in time of bloody oil takers

thieving, not just to comply

yet growing further

from roots of season,

buried deep in bone of hock

and whispered withers

winsome wander,

weary from such world in shock

in loss of simpler times

of ancient,

where team was two who shared, as pair 

in love and wicker woven softly,

bathing beauties calmer air

and time was free to spend in moment,

rendered firm in stroke, of deeper care
