I love this poem... it says so much about life...

The darkness spreads across the land; and from the darkness, emerges a foal. Eyes are scared, mane is tangled, her dusty coat is black as coal.

Away from us there rages a storm; flashes of light claim their domain. The roars above spark fear in the heart, and in the sky the clouds claim their reign.

The shadow in front of me dances, her movements fill me with fear. I stand and watch her rise to the sky, and scream her pain to the ones who are near.

If anybody hears her, there is no sign; the sky ignores her and the storm screams on. The foal thrashes and sings her song, and I watch her and wait for the dawn.

Suddenly, there is silence; the kingdom above has collapsed from strain. Light spreads through the land, and through the fields and across the plains.

If the foal was scared, she doesn’t know; she lowers her head to drink the sky’s offering I raise my eyes to the blue sky above and ask it the other horrors it can bring.

In response, a breeze touches my face, stretching out a hand to show me what I don’t know. It tells me, when the time is right it will unleash its ability to scream and blow.

For now, my little foal is safe; I imagine her running across the land. When the sky warriors battle again, we will wonder how many more we can withstand.
