Poetry: A gentle touch

Basking Beats Tasking

Quiet Moments in the Pasture

.

A bright blue sky bids us outdoors

Mid warmer winds and equine snores.

We'd like to saddle up for flight

In fanciful fantastic light,

To celebrate the sunny spring

With landmarks softly listening.

But statues still are all we find,

With limbs and tails and manes entwined.

No contract have we thus to ride,

To bring these peaceful ones inside.

By listening, we learn, of course,

To curl up quietly with a horse.

    "A Spark in Inky Blackness"

    A sweet caress, I do attest
    Can soften any blow
    An escape, but for a moment,
    From a highway lined

    From the touch of your fingers,

    To the brim of my shoulders,

    That passion I feel,

    I'll never grow older,

    It's like my body
