Let Me Lay
by Seah Greenhorn ... poem with copyright
Once dignified and regal
yet in knees buckled beneath
in this moment...
Relief.
Let me lay
My head resting
on enemy soil I once trusted
to gallantly convey me forward
must stay--for just a moment. Please.
Your kneeling presence--
Perhaps in prayer
a soothing comfort,
a sympathetic share.
Though my tired eyes I close
they do thank you.
My beloved guard
your stance to me a pronouncement:
You're not dead. Not by far. By the time
this glorious sun has totally risen
your beautiful hind will have resumed
your elegant position.
In your belief I will again
proudly gallop
by your majestic side.
Grateful I am for the love
of loyal family and friends.
I'll cherish these to a future end.

wanted to try a little something different here as compared to my other contests!
I am going to be providing each entrant a prompt picture of something "dark" or "depressing". I will want for you all to look closely and turn that darkness into something positive.
*either message me privately or on the contest comments for your individual prompt*
* if at all possible attach your prompt to your entry*.
* no profanity*
