Six Black Horses

Six black horses came roiling out of the ocean

as black as the night before dawn.

They came to a stop on the coastline

where a young lady went everyday to mourn.

The horses all gathered around her

Six black manes dripping wet.

She looked at them each in turn

and saw they hadn’t found him yet.

So she sent them back to the sea

to keep on looking for him

as she stood there quietly weeping

And continued mourning again.
