Horsey Green

I.

Come, my horsey green, will you carry me

Till the fields of this earth give way

As tokens of the world to come,

Where shores of light shimmer

And the only path is the sea to be swum?

II.

Come, my horsey green, this morn shallow,

A signal, the night not shorn of sorrow

Countenances of nightmare numb

In spite the fiery nature of the sun.

III.

Self of swine, praise the form of womankind.

Come, my horsey green, this day already falters

Let us descend where once roamed a father

To find a path out other than by death

Never found by these eyes the bible saith.

IV.

Come, my horsey green, the way of a greater arc

A barest hint of glory

Our path before us straight

Overtake it and conquer it with strength and strong faith.

V.

My horsey green, who stirs

In the vale of imagination

By utterance or name

Wending its path or no path.

An emerald companion

Bestrides the way upon a horse

Triumphant with shield and jewel

Magnifying the light.

I have heard this self speak

When give my ear’s expanse

Stern death adumbrate, count the hours passed.
