Your eyes sparkle a laughter
As deep as lost time
As you run through the night
On misty shores when twilight
Shines on dunes and hidden coves
With each trot a new promise
Standing still in the snow
A white mare by the seaside
Soon spring fills the salt air
With visions of swimming horses
Into the dawn of summer
When a full moon explodes
A young mare in expectation
Tosses her mane to greet
A lover from distant shores
As summer’s end unfolds
An old story anew
The year of the horse
