Leading Myself to WaterA Poem by Wynter IgnatiusNow I know what my problems might actually be...Much
like a stallion left to pasture Out
for devices of self-destruction Lead
to water by its own intuition Blinded
to the obvious threats Gorging
to the near bursting seams Upon
waters outside his field Drinking
of wells not his own A
problem with this rusty steed Long
without mate to advise Against
greener pastures outside Eyes
see beyond the barriers Looking
to sown fields gleefully Even
if they would throw the a shoe Neck
out between the barbed wire Repeated
cuts ignored and buried Under
thick stomps from his hooves Leading
himself to another pool Drinking
to beyond his fill More
than the waters can give Parched
from a wanton tongue Unquenched by continued drinking © 2014 Wynter Ignatius |
