    They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

    To tame a horse in freezing winter
    One plays a childish "hide and seek"
    Caress its mane with future spring
    and kiss the hazel moist with love

    Distract its pain with sandy gallops
    Along the turquoise dreams of freedom
    And while you heal the reddish wound
    Recount the legend of the horse with wings.

    There won't be saddles only clouds
    That sometimes shed rainbows of tears
    As darkness falls on killing fields
    My soul is neighing as echoes cry...

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
