Socrates Chariot

Jump and fly

Go left

Now right

Follow me

We'll run away from here

No

Keep on straight

Stay the course

Follow me

I'll lead you carefully

Ride with me

We'll gallop 

And whinny

Loosen my reins

And I'll take us faster

Than ever before

Ride with me

Slow and steady

I'll rock you

To sleep

With the rhythm 

Of my hooves

Let it go

Leave me be

Work together

And make life simpler

Ride with me

Ride with me

Quiet

I'll make you thunder

I'll make you pure

Please

I won't shoot either of you

But I can always let go

And see what happens

clever format as it gallops along waxing philosophic. i think it's about not controlling the reigns and seeing where things lead. doing what's right vs throwing caution to the wind and man's struggle with the two and being caught in the middle. nice job. memorable, i enjoyed it very much ... :)

This is writ in a form that reads like a play. The tension between these steeds is sad as they both wish to ride but in different ways. And in the middle a wise man sits. This reads in flowing dialogue and has a lovely mystical quality to it.
