The Shadow

In the night of the
glowing moon
a deserted horse
caught a glimpse
of a fleeting shadow.

A wild thing flying
across the empty
landscape.
With eyes flashing
white from fear
his galloping could
not escape the
shadow that was
his.

His gait slowed as
he entered the cover
of the apple orchard,
where the fleeting
shadow disappeared.
safe at last he
stopped to nibble
a fallen apple.
