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.
