Stardust and Snowflakes
A Winter's Day for Bay and Grey
On Gypsy wings, the wind she sings,
Her timely tune to share.
Each feathered fetlock softly clings
Against the frosted air.
.
The icy breeze, she dances free;
As equines watch and wait.
A mystic wave may meet them there
Beside the pasture gate.
.
And I believe the wild ones weave
An ever-present truth.
For here they dare not to deceive
The blinding bloom of youth.
.
A swath of stardust meets each mane
Despite the daylight's glare,
And each receives, yet can't contain
The joy beyond compare.
.

- Perhaps the winter wind may carry a message of her own.
- Do we have ears to hear the song in the air?
- Like the Gypsy Vanners, chilling on the hill, will we take time to listen to her brisk tune?
