The dark horse gallops through the open meadow
experiencing timeless travel of need
The free spirit of the magnificent specimen
racing forward in breathless speed
Shadows of sadness reflect over the green meadow
as the sun disappears behind the darkening cloud
Pending doom of a lingering loving friendship
overtaking the usual silence with sounds of thunder loud
The pearl-essence white mare drinks from the flowing stream
as tears of disappointment flow from the glazing eyes
Relinquishing any hope of future plans and dreams
as loving friends of time accept hurting goodbyes
The white mare is left alone in the shadows
as she watches the dark horse run free
Picturesque within the beauty of nature
standing beneath the weeping willow tree
The saga of a loving friendship has ended
as the dark horse makes a choice to go home
His free spirit overtakes his roaming soul
leaving the white mare with a broken heart and alone
