Ode to a Nature

o, dream horse
stallion
nature
instinct
noblest pure heart
unafraid
face on all
threats all praise
all life not knowing death
living
deep eye
shining ancient darkest
night
bejeweled,
chestnut body
burnished red
copper black tasseled
painted
hooves of
flashed and
flowing power, leg..ged and
wing...ged
flying
lithe in a cloud rolling chant
drumming thunder, dreaming
air
arching
reverent
movement
gone by

jds/sep 1994
Skynight was an imported English Kahelan strain Arab stallion of esteemed lineage, the pride and joy of his owners in Toronto. He died of natural causes in 1994 at age 25 years in his adopted country, Canada.
