Sanctuary

Take me where the horses trot

Not a human in sight 

Simply wild nature in all its visual and sonic glory 

Listen to the thunder of hooves

Pounding the ground day and night 

Clouds of dust rise like mist from a lake 

As the powerful beasts flex their might

Flowers of lavender and gold in distant fields 

Take heed of the violent vibrations 

They are safe for now 

As the herd passes harmlessly 

Let me breathe the air 

Let me enjoy the sounds of the world 

The pollution of society doesn’t dare

To sully the sanctity of this place 

For this is the last paradise 

The only sanctuary left on the face 

Of the earth
