THE NIGHT PEGASUS

A winged creature of the night
Carries me into dreams of fright
Would that I could banish it from my sight
Oh, no more rides in midnight moonlight

How does he know the way, the road to take to go
To the place where some long ago memories still hurt so
Has he been there in the shadows all along
Knowing I thought the memories were gone

I will build myself a barn to hold this winged steed
I will fence it with love and things he does need
I will cover it with forgiveness as its roof
And our midnight rides will only be a spoof

In the sunshine I’ll teach it to feed right from my hand
Of the milk of kindness which flows through this land
Of course, first of all I must capture this visitor of nightmare rides
But I am fearing to wait on the road to memories where he hides
