“Once Upon a Sky”
Once there was a wild blue horse
Who pranced in ancient skies
She was formed of air and cloud and mist
Azure light shone from her eyes
Upon her billowy flanks did graze
Horse beings of rich colors and great size
And free they were to wander there
As beautiful as they were wise.
One day a human spirit girl
This celestial place did find
With love and joy she joined the dance
And was welcomed as their kind
A moment came when horse and girl
Rode winds of fate and might
Their hearts were filled with love so great
They burst into sparkling light
As shining drops of rain they fell
To Earth’s awaiting sands
And horses formed from every drop
Blessing all the lands
So when you look to skies above
Think on blue horse dreams
How love can reach from Heaven to Earth
And back again, it seems.
