INDIGO DREAMS

 It's Sunday Muse #147, and we're inspired by the photograph of the Indigo Sky Mares by  Lauren  Burch.


INDIGO DREAMS

They’ve long been  my friends, the indigo mares, since my mother told

me of their power.. On dark, stormy nights I leap astride, grasping their 

flowing golden mane as we streak through the starlight on the nimbus 

highway,  dodging lightning bolts, asteroids and all manner of space 

junk, hoofbeats drowning the sound of thunder. I fall asleep cradling their 

warm flanks and wake to morning light, refreshed and filled with indigo memories.  

The storm will have passed, and I will be safe and sound....just as mother said.

  5. Love this! Wish dogs were amenable to stories...I'm sure Arthur would love to trade his thunder anxieties for dreams of running and leaping with horses.
