Literature Text

Nimble as a jaguar,
quick as a doe.
Bounding through a sleeping forest.

Swerving here and there...
to avoid the resounding billow of anguish,
laying thick as a cloud,
upon the bloodied earth.

What is this beauty?
With the downy fur of a newborn kitten,
and hooves of molten gold.

Who else sees what I...
am lucky enough to gaze my eyes upon.

A flash of light,
a neigh, piercing as a crystal bell,
and saddening as the murky dusk,
and then...
silence.

Soft as a downy wing,
it settles upon the carnage.

The animal collapses to the ground.
A cone,
clear as purest glass
lays upon the head,
of the shattered form.

Light,
just a speckle and a spark,
shines from the diamond horn.

The forest leans in.
Waiting.
Waiting.

The light rises to a bubbling shine,
and then to a blinding sun,
erasing all the damage it surrounds.

And slowly,
ever so slowly,
the light dims.

The great beast raises it's head one last time,
and whines a pitiful neigh,
as the light shimmers,
and then goes out.
Forever.

The great horse bows it's head,
thumping to the forest earth.
And all goes quiet,
once again.
I did this during state testing last year, and I am REALLY proud of this one!
