White Lines Curving

Walls of rock
bore the Lady's horses
in white lines
curving,
and beaked creatures
with blind eyes,
stared out
into the torchlight...
it was there
that he felt her, strongest

A child
of the marshlands
sang Scotland
in darkness,
his people stood
as islands
in wild seas,
where the sound
of thunder
was the song
of hooves
�pon an unforgiving earth,
in the age of iron

Wild sea eyes
caught shadows, as
still and being,
as the horses
that fell
where the sun lay long,
and twilight spoke
in shape shifter tones
of Middle-land winds
that howled
his haunting

Even godless men, see
shadows lengthen
in the night,
but he was not godless
for it was Old Blood
that coursed
through his veins

He came
from ancient bones
and they welcomed him home
in thundered ovation,
oh yes, he was one of them,
honoring the majesty
of the horse,
for the Goddess
who rides it to the sun
