My steed

Mixed media on paper, 50 x 70 cm


I made this for a TurinTurambar´s poem: "My Steed":

Trust in my steed shall I
when courage fails
and tide of battle
round me rails
When trumpets sound and arrows fly
Trust in my steed shall I

Trust in my steed shall I
to bite and kick
and carry me
into the thick
of battle's press where men will die
Trust in my steed shall I

Trust in my steed shall I
when threat of death
is near and I
am short of breath
Midst ring of steel through hell we fly
Trust in my steed shall I

Trust in my steed shall I
when through the haze
of blood and sweat
I homeward gaze
Though I am spent he'll be my eyes
And trust in my steed shall I
