Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition

Running strong, running fast
Wind alongside rushing past
Every step - pulsing with power
Grass and dandelions underfoot cower
A steady breeze whipping up hair
Dancing madly in the air
The flat meadow of growth and life
The sun above blazing as if pierced by a knife
Earth trembles every bend of the knee
Fierce wise eyes wild and free
A spirit born from thunder and lightning
Everything even fear finds it frightening
A creature made of such beauty and strength Could not be matched to any length
To find this animal by any means
All you must do is look in my dreams
