Black Stallion – Gray Fox

Crystalline majesty abounds 
As black flanks and silver heels
Launch lightening to a crescent moon.
While crazed eyes of the willful beast
Gaze far beyond the mountaintop.
Who can tame him?
Who will name him?
Who dares blame his stubborn way?
Staunchly defiant.
Non-compliant,
Free to run another day.

Gray fox slips behind the screen of
Forest foliage stealthily, so many
Predators farther up the chain,
Courage effaced by the need for survival, 
Cunning and quickness the tools of his trade.
So many enemies
Akin to infinity
Wary and willing to hide.
Weary at end of day,
Wrestling to find a way,
Thankful to simply survive.

Black stallion – gray fox,
Creatures of Eden. Both
Grateful for being alive.
