White Stallion

Horses race across the prairie, white stallion leading Mares with foals, stallions, manes, tails, swept back Chasing the wind, hooves sounding like thunder. Prey animals of flight fleeing from danger Seeking somewhere safe from predators Where they can rest, graze, ready for flight again. Entering a valley they gather, panting and sweating, Long run with many miles covered at the gallop. White stallion trots to top of a nearby hill Overlooking the valley and weary resting herd. Rising up upon hind legs he gives shrilling neigh Letting the herd know he is keeping watch Protecting them from danger while they relax Mares, foals, and stallions, enjoying the midday heat.
