I don't have a horse

I don't have a horse but I ride clouds that pass the moon

I can throw ropes up in the air and swing upon a star

I can collect planets in my hands

And dive and swim in galaxies, even though I don't know where they are

The smell of fresh mown grass is mine at any time

And I can feel the solar madness of yellow, reds and green

I can let lightning pierce my mind

And walk in footsteps yet unseen

I can hear the thoughts of wolves

And see the currents that make eagles soar

I even know when to turn the lights off

Before the unwanted knock on door

I can even walk through mountains

And have a peep at time passed inside

I can hear the the screams of silence

And see if a groom really loves his bride

I don't tell people these things

They would only say I'm mad

Then the Freudian know-all would come and see what he could take

Yet he will never have seen

That when the darkness calms, it leaves trails of beauty in it's wake
