Sitting in an abandoned field
The sun warming the air
My eyes drifting slowly shut
As I feel the breeze on my hair
Absorbing natures sounds
The warmth, even things I know aren't there
Waiting in silence
For the one thing I long to hear
It starts softly at first
Then slowly grows nearer
A rhythmical sound
The sound I'll never fear
I hear them now
Louder and louder
Their sound entrancing
Like a fine piece of music
All natures glory
Combined into one sound
The sound of hoofbeats
Hitting the ground
