The Herd

by lauren - Taurus

The rearing tossing turning heads,
bobbing in a sea,
of pasture grass and buttercups.
A raging river flowing free.
A flash of grey,
A spot of brown,
surging through the storm.
Searching,
waiting,
for the sounds of comfort.
Something safe and warm.
A shelter from the winter,
a shield against the cold.
A cool brook in the summer,
shady, old, and loved.
The solace that will never come
to the herd that haunts this place.
Never a gentle word,
never a kind face.
All that exists is
the sun, the wind, the rain,
and the chaos of the plains

Reason for writing:

    i'm a horse-lover...can't help it.
