Horses for Courses

By Ivor Steven.

there is something about the freedom of horses

beyond green pastures and steeple courses

there is something about the purity of life’s 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 death’s silent voices

riding in wooden coffins down the hearses brief courses
