Wild Stallion












 



          




Wild Stallion
 

I lived for many years in Nevada,

And would see wild horses running free.

As the years rolled by there were fewer and fewer herds.

And that broke my heart~~~~~~

Wild Stallion

A master of the hills

Wild stallion~~~ running free

Claiming what God had given him:

 Dignity and liberty.

 

The mares ran at his bidding,

The colts frolicking behind,

Territory to be covered

Food and water he must find.

 

The snows that came in winter

Upon the mountains tall

Led him to the valleys

For his herd, he gave his all.

 

The valleys had strange creatures

Like he had never known

They rode on the backs of his brothers,

Roped his mares, and drug them home.

 

They raced into the glen

His eyes were wild with fear

His herd was cut in half

He sensed the end was near.

 

He turned to face the attacker

Ears laid back ~~~ kicking high

The ropes surrounded his neck and legs

He looked up toward the sky.

 

He fought with mighty fury

His freedom to maintain.

Surrendering was not an option

In the heart of this Wild stallion.

 

He died where he had fallen,

A master of the hills,

And the world lost the beauty

That his majesty fulfilled.
