Wrote this years ago and thought I'd share.
 | Coward As dreaming child, would come to me the instant that I woke an early rider, clad in fairest silk upon a horse, itself as pale as she. And to my window she would call her hand raised, beckoning "Come ride with me across the dawn. This chance is given seldom and to few and may not come again." But I was bound by youth, or too afraid to sieze the promise of that wild ride. And so awoke to rise and face the day bearing the name of coward in my mind. As man I stand beside that horse, now riderless. So many have I lifted to it's back, only to watch them slip and fall or trample me with sudden, angry hooves. Where are you now my early rider? So many years gone by Perhaps you gallop, spirit-wild, and with you rides another soul more free, more brave than I across the boundless scape of childhood dreams. If you love someone seize the moment. Fuck cowardice and fuck what others think. We are given very few chances in life at real love. Just follow your heart and the rest will fall into place. Nothing worth having in life comes easy and god hates a coward. |
