As darkness wraps its cloak around the land

Animals vanish hurriedly to their resting grounds

The stars twinkle from the velvety sky far above

As if signalling for a miracle about to happen

The sound of wings fills the dark night air

A mystical horse, pure as pearl, white as snow

An angel from heaven paying us an earthly visit

Silhouetted and proud against the moonlit sky

It stands and watches and takes in the view

No one to witness this scene but one pair of eyes

A child watching from his room up high

His face so bright, his eyes wide with delight

And as he watches it is time for the horse to move on again

Its wings rise, ready for its flight back home again

It vanishes swiftly as it came, never to be seen again
