Poem to Wild Horses

Craig Carpenter Downer championing the plight of wild horses- wrote the following poem, published in "Streams of the Soul," while walking in a Nevada desert:

Poem to Wild Horses

I write a poem

about the wild horse,

'cause there's a lot of feeling here,

albeit much long suffering

and abuse by man - most gruesome!

... Yet, too, vast wide-open spaces,

and MANY lives lived out

with Grace and in Joyful Freedom!

-T'is a saga of the Old West

- and I believe the New -

this story of the wild horse,

this enduring, wind-drinking

runner of desert and plain,

as - Alas!- of very Time!

His story is one with yours and mine.

May he reach far upon this Earth Plane!

For 't is a saga of what this Land is yet to be,

of a Destiny yet unfulfilled,

when Man and Horse in Freedom live

once again with mutual Respect.
