Wanderer

unreined,
a smiles kisses the fleeting horizon,
raptured by the promise to perch
on the coasts of infinity.

a thunderous roar fills the prairie
as an influx of bisons drift in
blind delusion for power and survival
from threshold to threshold.

the heart takes wings, soars
from the dust cloud and led by a keen look,
takes course over the rugged terrain.

and finally lands in an oasis of lush verdure,
overlooking the ocean, waiting for rolling white
waves of mares to carry him to that veiled
island of the blessed.
