HORSES FOR COURSES
written by: Ivor Steven
@ivors20
there is something about the freedom of horses
beyond green pastures and steeple courses
there is something about the purity of lifeβs sources
from the snowy mountains down the river courses
there is something about the madness of wartime choices
beyond bloodstained lands of the killing forces
there is something about deathβs silent voices
riding in wooden coffins down the hearses brief courses
