My Horse

My horse can whisper.
My horse whispers in my ear.
My horse whispers 3 things
It means everything.
My horse whispers
“In war there is peace.”
My horse mumbles
“In wood there is life.”
Finally My Horse utters
“In darkness there is light.”

My horse.
Red paint
Just like blood
All over My Horse.
Lush green flowers
Rest upon my horse.

Gallop, gallop, gallop
My horse runs
Across this earth.
Scrape, scrape, scrape
My horse is being made.

Death is how I got My horse.
She lay in that terrible hospital bed.
Finally darkness took over.
She was gone.

Colours clash
Details bash
My horse knows a lot.
My horse means a lot.

The colours say what she means to me.
Red for the compassion she gave.
Green for the land she is underneath.
Yellow for the tall giraffe.
White for the light that slipped away.
Finally blue for the grief I felt when she was gone.

My horse.
Not your horse.
Was her horse.
My horse.
