Green shades of purity
Black hues of freedom
Hoof beats pounding the earth
Drumbeats on my heart
A wild tattoo
The underlying rhythm beneath
Many tunes of history
Wild mane whipping in the sky
Red nostril reaching for the sun
To pull it down and wear it in your eyes
Lean black legs cleaving the wind
Hitting the earth
Dirt flies behind
Limbs lift; hang in mid air for an instant
Then resume their graceful flight
Into the future
Your coat glistens
Shining gold
Reflecting beauty
Forever
