dark horse

born and raised under open skies
happy days spent running wild
anchored his spirit in that place

running til running was done
ever restless he learned to fly
mentored by a champion

from horizons near and far
he came to us most able
we willingly stand beside

a fighter, he negotiates
a protector, he defends
a provider, he delivers

longing for others to run free
unwilling to run - he stands vigil
