Saga 8...White Mare and Dark Horse

Missing image

Each time the dark horse

reaches the green meadow

He is ready to stay and play

galloping through the wild flowers

being relaxed carefree and gay

 

He loves to chase the white mare

who lives in the meadow alone

She enjoys the carefree space to roam

The meadow has always been her home

 

Surrounded by a stream of river water

where she can drink to her hearts delight

Knowing it flows from the mountain spring

clean and free from litter and blight

 

The last time the dark horse

went on an roaming adventure

he twisted his left hind leg in the mud

Now he limps through the meadow

retiring with the white mare as her stud

 

The saga continues...

    The interesting poem caught my attention as much as the image did. Love the ghostly, archetypal feel, and the freedom of the horses. Interesting that an injury brought gained her to this new homeland. Looking forward to the continuation of the saga.

    also -- love the backgrounds you have on your pages

        Thanks sunchaser. I will be reading more of your work.
        (And yes, it seems I have gotten a "new start." More like a whole new persona raised from the bitter ashes of a hard life now dead and gone -- just a distant memory. I am enjoying this new turn, new time.)

    I enjoys these very much. Must be worse things to do than 'retire to stud'...?
