A Horses Breath
Location
Quiet your breathing, new young foal
I’m here to aide in achieving our goals
No need to breathe tirelessly
There, relax, there’s so much to see
Shhh… Listen, do you hear the sound
Little puffs of vapor in the air all around
The quiet animal standing still
In the silent winter chill
Breathing increasing through the task at hand
Here’s the third barrel, please leave it to stand
Heaving coming from under my legs
Breathless fatigue begins to beg
Breath becoming weaker
Our boldness becoming meeker
This can’t be it, this can’t be
My old friend is leaving me
With the last final breath
The winner is death
My friend is gone
Farewell friend, so long
