Moonlight ponies

moonlight ponies
blue and gray
lost in clouds
yet know the way
trotting into
cold tomorrow
they have no time
for joy or sorrow

moonlight ponies
run together
they lope along
with ne'er a tether
snorting nostrils
wide with needing
ears laid back
they run unheeding

moonlight ponies
stampede through dust
hooves that pound
in thun'drous lust
away they all
they care not why
run they must
they do or die
