cliff nobles the horse a fan's tribute

a salute to a great 60's instrumental piece. done on garageband, percussion syncopated with piano. horns are great on this apple application, and put me in the mood to do chicago and bst music tributes. if you like horses and horsey imagery, read this short poem




A Blessing




Just off the highway to Rochester, Minnesota,
Twilight bounds softly forth on the grass.
And the eyes of those two Indian ponies
Darken with kindness.
They have come gladly out of the willows
To welcome my friend and me.
We step over the barbed wire into the pasture
Where they have been grazing all day, alone.
They ripple tensely, they can hardly contain their happiness
That we have come.
They bow shyly as wet swans. They love each other.
There is no loneliness like theirs.
At home once more, they begin munching the young tufts of spring in the darkness.
I would like to hold the slenderer one in my arms,
For she has walked over to me
And nuzzled my left hand.
She is black and white,
Her mane falls wild on her forehead,
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear
That is delicate as the skin over a girl's wrist.
Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.

James Wright

thank you appalachiaequines, this was an early garageband (mac) effort and i was hoping people would like it for its sound and for the nostalgia of the 60's instrumentals . was a lot of fun to make and then to post.

If Your A Real Fan Why Not Go And Get Propper Pics Instead Of Using Ones Off The Internet Over And Over Again?
