Equine Poetry,
Page 1

         The poem on the page below,
was written to accompany this  painting.

        It is art that makes life,
 makes interest, makes importance
and I know of no substitute whatever
for the force and beauty of  its process.
                 --Henry James

      Unbreakable bonds of union were forged with horses,
                        and the rhythms of the earth,
                                     upon my birth.
                                    In ancient rites,
             I was transformed into a warrior of the spirit
                        during dreams of wild horses;
                               separate but entwined,
           chasing the sacred fire through the desert rain;
              encircled and illuminated by the "dreaming",
                                seeking wild sanctuary,
                            pursuing visions of freedom...
                               Dwelling in a time apart,
                                 in quest of things lost,
            touring the molecules with timeless tenacity,
               faster, and faster than the speed of light;
future promise obscured by the oppression of Gaia's primal
energy.
                  Where are the the graceful guardians,
                                      worldly or other,
      the protectors of the treasure for which there are no
words?
