Fates of heat and snow
A poem I wrote for my mare.
I wouldn't have been able to write this or dare to share it here if it wasn't for the support of my friends, who have helped me through my rough time recently. You know who you are. You mean a lot to me.
This is my first submission here so please be kind :3 .
Walking as if against a heavy storm
Harness too tight
Bridled to form
Steps never light
Snow and sand
of shadows fearing
cold and heat
them both rearing
Furs were tainted
muscles clearly strained
stripes thinly painted
equine frames in pain
Snow and sand
hooves making a trail
cold and heat
they weren't frail
Foam from muzzles
watchful and tense
lives like puzzles
how did it make sense?
Snow and sand
not in wain
heat and cold
were their pain
Salty scent reaching
earth without quakes
ears forward peaking
mirroring their fates
Snow and sand
tails flowing
cold and heat
eyes glowing
Spotted their hopes
bound no more
running down slopes
Galloping freely as two of a kind
