Fairy Horse

Fairy horse fairy horse
Dancing on the brink
Of a cliff’s sharp edge
Above time’s dark sea.

Fairy horse fairy horse
Horned and winged
In a beam of bright moonlight
Her cold coat gleams.

Fairy horse fairy horse
With hooves of steel
Is quick to the hunt
And quicker to the kill.

Fairy horse fairy horse
Swift as poetry
And deadly as moonshine
Defies reality.

Fairy horse fairy horse
Eternally wick
Will never surrender
To a virgin’s tricks.

Fairy horse fairy horse
Will never be named.
She will never be caught.
She will never be tamed.

Faery Horse

Hunter of Leaves

To Gwyn:

Hunter of leaves,
Lover of the seasons
Take my wild soul
To the moon in the river.

Wind swept trees by the Ribble, PenworthamAs centuries take flight
On carrion wings
Marshall their magic,
Let truth be seen.

Wind swept trees, PenworthamThrough wind blown years,
Leaf strewn vision
And a harvest of tears
Let truth be spoken.

Wind swept trees, Penwortham
