| Across the open plain, leaning forward to a place I do not know I ride the grey-coated bearer of dreams. Beneath the stars, watching my advance to an unknown land I ride the straining creature flecked with two beings’ sweat. Before the wind, bending toward the river’s bend, across Anduin’s banks I ride a companion, fated to my fate. Under the shelter of trees, welcoming me to a safe refuge I ride until both are exhausted, winded. Within the haven of another’s arms, warm, relieved, arrived I ride to journey’s end, slipping from the saddle of a fearless one. Against my cheek, my mount’s breath comes fierce and hot. Tested warriors, both. |
