Wild Horse

by Christian Ward

‏‏‎ ‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎

You thrash like a wild horse 
in your sleep. The corral 
of dreams not enough to hold 
you. What of the prairies
of stars? The meadows 
of galaxies? Deserts of dark
matter? Wherever you’ll run,
I’ll reign in the night to let you 
aspire to whatever you were 
meant to be.
