prarie day
bright flashing eyes, rich flowing mane
slashing black hooves crossing the plain
shining tail streaming out from behind
wild spirit borne on an unfettered mind
green prarie grasses painting the ground
trying to hide the deep hues of brown
gray granite mountains making their stand
cold silent guards high over this land
the soft cool kiss of morning's first breeze
stirs all the senses and rustles trees
seeing her run free through this wild land
stirs every sense inside of this man
hard pulsing heart jumps in his chest
watching her galloping off to the west
sinews taunt in her thundering stride
filled with excitement that he can't hide
what beauty here on this earth could compare
to what he sees now, watching her there
poetrty in motion perfection that moves
dancing to cadence tattooed by her hooves
each stride taking them farther apart
each stride beating a hole in his heart
a cloud of dust rises behind her
as her figure grows distant and far
that moment will live there forever
and dreams will be all he can share
