Lover’s Abyss

I was told as a young child
You can dream of anything
So, I dreamed I was a blue horse
midnight blue with a touch of white
gracefully strong
unafraid of the world
accepting of the unknown
beautiful essence
assuring eyes.

I was told as a student
You can’t dream anymore
its time to grow up
learn how to be an adult
learn to be practical
understand your place
abide by our laws.

As an adult
I was told
You’re a lot of trouble
try harder to fit in
let go of that childhood dream
stop messing around
be something.

I traveled this world
in spite of people’s viewpoint
I traveled as a blue horse.
Unafraid
Accepting
Assured and complete.

I saw a blue horse
with a daisy behind her ear
standing alone.
Sky blue she was
as were her eyes.
Gracefully she moved
towards the crest of twilight.
I asked if she wanted company?
She said, yes.

Beyond the crest we disappeared
into our abyss where our solitude awaited
playing with season flowers
and coupling under the stars.

The eternity we exist in
is the eternity we make.
