On The Wind


On the Wind

Freedom whispers
on the wind...
Lo! The wild horses
run!

Born unto vast
prairies,
And stabled 'neath
the sun.

Bathed in cloud borne
waters,
Summer's storm their
symphony;

Brethren to the
Zephyr,
Starlit night their
canopy.

In the cadence
of their hoof beats
One hears
Mother Nature sing!

Freedom whispers
on the wind...
Wild horses
are awing!

  11. Captivating image and thought provoking poem. I've never seen a wild horse running free in the countryside. I've seen deer and elk, but never a wild horse. Wild horses would definitely be a site to behold.
