april songs (Theme 3):   attitudes of life 8

april song 28—all my dreams  
 
nightmares have spun my head a thousand years  
across the violent slam of wild frontiers.  
embattled though i reel from cloven hooves,  
their effrontery my animateness proves;  
for now i rule the saddle and the reins  
that formerly have multiplied my pains.  
 
now mollycoddled by a new life lease,  
i pray that all my dreams shall find increase  
as royal stallions buckle to my cause,  
where old equestrian dreaming was faux pas.  
i gallop with the wind beneath my wings,  
my destination all life’s lovely things.
