Pines Fallen

Fallen lay beneath the great pines
Autumn grass yellow, brown and scarlet
Mare mourning waters the forests
Old stallion so proud stands stout

One, three and more join the fallen
Autumn grass yellow, brown and scarlet
Mare cries,"let it end!" echoes dim
Old stallion can look away no more

Foe still shining red, tramples the fallen
Autumn grass pink,brown and scarlet
"Let this quarrel end, let us have peace!"
Old stallion broken, weeps for the fallen

Triumphant, Foe walks among the fallen
Autumn grass pink,brown and scarlet
Behind the pines, around their den
Old stallion rises, with purpose in mind

Ancient hooves pound the ground
Autumn grass pink, brown and scarlet
Foe mocks, safe with pines around
Old stallion charges, kicks and bites

Birds scatter and wave, aiming at sun
Autumn grass flat, red runs abound
Pines now tainted no longer green
Old stallion fades, but not in vain
