The Magnificence of Hope

"Indigo Sky Mares" by Laurel Burch

Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse #147


Some things have to be believed to be seen. ~Ralph Hodgson


Magnificence surrounds us

it touches sky and souls like wings

it is all a true miracle

from birth to passing on

the freedom to inhale

to see and truly be

I am blessed to have known you

the one that made me surely see

the vision of hope is a freedom

a force as wild as horses with no fence

it is mine and yours to tame and ride

If only we truly will.

  11. I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences, stare at the moon until I lose my senses, I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences, don't fence me in. ;-)

  13. "horses with no fence" always reminds me of the "Horse with no Name" song. Sung by America, released in 1972/
    ". . .
    I've been through the desert
    On a horse with no name
    It felt good to be out of the rain
    In the desert, you can remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    . . ."
