Liked the imagery!<br /><br />Sebastian is is a great home - when I bought him my girls we so young and little and I was just getting back into horses. He was green (very young) and he benefited from an experienced rider - he was a BIG horse and had some "issues". He is in a loving home (and still gorgeous) Oberon is our little buddy - he is good natured and loving and hard working - very athletic and loves to trail ride and he is full of nuzzles and yet he can be a little trickster - he is 13 and loves to play. We adore him. BUT... where Oberon is cute, Sebastian was regal... at least thats my opinion. :) Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-29221699509847041672018-07-26T00:05:58.381-04:002018-07-26T00:05:58.381-04:00I don't know where my comment went, but I shal...I don't know where my comment went, but I shall try again.

a...'you have the rose to blood the lily...'<br />an incantation of old magick for the end times when everything new has failed. I also like the line Michael refers to, as well as the form, which is ballad-like but not, simply itself.
