Drifting

A prominent horse advocate has experienced a recent deep loss.

The following is dedicated to her and her loved ones.

Drifting

The inky darkness before the dawn
She drifted closer, then all was gone
Breath that livened, now withdrawn
Empty silence engulfed her song

Though sun rises, no rays can shine
The absence of love once called mine
Exquisite presence bright or sublime
Voids never healed by space or time

The suffering ended, yet just begun
The lessons learned, the battles won
The intentions finished, finally done
Time's now up - the race was run

As she drifted closer to heavens gate
A pale steed did patiently wait
To lift her up and rejuvenate
On golden hooves towards a better fate

Earthly burdens now released
Both victims of the rising Beast
Though our own battles will not cease
Loved ones finally rest in peace
