RUNNING FREE
Their thundering hooves
Shaking the earth beneath me
As mustangs run by.
MERE SHADOWS
The lope of the wolf
Covering miles in a day
Keeps it from all men.
THE TRAVELER
The tinkling stream
Seems to laugh as it rushes
By to the ocean.
NIGHTMARES
Night fall over me
And brings my nightmares to life
Until the sun comes.
A WINDOW
Music has a soul
That’s comprised of all dreamers’
Mere imaginings.
