Snow spirits ride, they are the white horses on spirit lake, waves are hoofbeats splash shadows reaching gray cloud blankets ripped open battered flag of winter still standing wind songs arrows of sleet freeze the ears before sound can strike and wound the soul ancient campfires flicker lights ice cycles shimmer in sun memory burning wood is water unmelting white horses never reined just galloped lungless breathing spirits in hollow coats ©OWG |

"white horses never reined just galloped" I like this imagery. It's as it should be, for the natural behavior of the horse is to run free and gallop, unreined, unconstrained by our demands. When my daughter rides, she uses reins and a saddle in English riding school class. But her favorite is to free gallop bareback, in tune with the natural beat of the hoof and the equine's heartbeat. And I know there were other levels of meaning in this poem, but I really love horse imagery. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (01-07-2002 09:31 PM).] |

my old soul tells me this is something very near the sands of time..and the primal energy of something greater and untamed. I love the word usage and the amount of thought it provokes. Sincerely, Regina |
