Please enjoy “The Red Mare”,
Speaker:
00:00:31
a poem by Amethyst Mare
Speaker:
00:00:36
They say we lead to borrow freedom,
Speaker:
00:00:39
Freedom to let us be.
Speaker:
00:00:41
Perhaps, my dear, you’d be so kind As to share your freedom with me?
Speaker:
00:00:46
Forget distress, to hell with the rest,
Speaker:
00:00:50
Curling onward – you think the shadows care?
Speaker:
00:00:53
Honey, what danger?
Speaker:
00:00:54
They do no more than stare,
Speaker:
00:00:56
At you and I: our passing by.
Speaker:
00:00:59
Clip-clop, clip-soft:
Speaker:
00:01:02
hooves to pine spines,
Speaker:
00:01:04
Sharp and stale from time’s fall.
Speaker:
00:01:07
We shall take heed of flight, dare not stall, Hooves flicked airborne, a moment lost.
Speaker:
00:01:14
Two are one but one
Speaker:
00:01:16
is two And must farewell
Speaker:
00:01:18
on life’s way. Yet I do so wish that I could stay In the shadow of your musty sweetness.
Speaker:
00:01:25
When twilight groans, do you watch
Speaker:
00:01:27
For a figure, rearing from the dark?
Speaker:
00:01:30
Scrambling up bareback, that forbidden lark,
Speaker:
00:01:33
Now the gate is latched and you graze
Speaker:
00:01:35
alone. This was “The Red Mare”
Speaker:
