I've been posting under several names on a subreddit called "Ghostwrite" and would like to post them elsewhere because Ghostwrite is impossible to find without link hopping.
I don't want to overpost but I've written so much in the last few months and I feel they fit together well.
Past and Through
A Mare’s Morning
A mare flew south past hearth and house
By roads and rivers dry
A care was placed upon her back
To bear through whens and whys
A cold breeze blew through darkened trees
And settled in her spine
Told, she knew that she would freeze
If settled for a time
Carried on through dark and dawn
And dawn and set again
Followed stars both small and large
And found time to name them
Told, she knew that she was through
When she was where she went
She found a way unseen, unused
Where her way was spent
Her care caught on a ragged branch
And hung there evermore
Carelessly her hymn was sung
Valued what was in store
From steps to sun to spirits wrung
Plucked from birds’ encore
Heartful pleas for symphonies
Echoed past the shore
The years fell far from company
The forest heard the score
The wind whistled through every turn
And found her cold once more
Whispering the words it learned
From leaves whose voice it wore
Her calls concerned concerts unturned
Her knells were left ignored
Harried on through turn and roam
A wealth left to invest
The wind flew west and found a home
Within a sparrow's breast
Exhaling long with glowing dawn
The larks gave up their crests
Leaning on the horizon
The leaves grew to a nest
Singing yawns from ways long-gone
Spent unwinding the rest
The wind returned to paths unturned
And found the rest entailed
Wandering out to sea
With waves on past the stern
The gale found nothing in her sail
But winding wails unearned
Grounded onto floating shale
The winds remained unlearned
She spun a hearth under a veil
Of echoes old and churned
Until the mountains tore and paled
Morning's tones were spurned
Her hues a view of sunrise stale
Of warming to a burn
