I watch as you run
In the shinning sun
Unable to tear my eyes away
Your mane entwined with wisps of hay
You leave hoof shaped marks
That set off sparks
When your shoes
Strike hues
Of deep red rocks
Staining your socks
With blood like color
That slowly gets duller
As the sun starts to set
I’ll bet
That you’ve notice me
And then you’ll see
That I’ve been waiting
Recreating
In my mind
Trying to find
A time that beats this moment
Unsuccessfully finding a worthy opponent
So I sit back
Hoping to distract
As you walk over
Your head getting lower
Looking at me
As we silently agree
That the time has come
Although we are glum
To call it a night
In the fading light
As we return
Still we yearn
For the daylight hours
Without rain showers
I say goodnight
And I know you’re alright
As I turn to leave
