SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY
http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/
EVER ONWARD!
How can anything unreal express such energy and verve?
How can anything metallic be so vibrant and so warm?
How can we see beneath the skin each tendon and each nerve?
How can rippling muscles show in a purely static form?
The front leg, full of power, seems to point the way ahead.
The back leg moves in unison just like a living spring!
The shadows made by muted light that's shining overhead
Make the elevation seem a very true and certain thing.
Once long ago in China a craftsman made this horse
Which can gallop on through all eternity.
Such a wonderful example of pure energy and force.
How glad I am that I have eyes to see!

It is a full gallop this equine is immersed in. His shadow truly emphasizes his speed. The extra kick in his hind legs propels him ahead of any and all competitors!
What a gorgeous piece of art! And your words say it all! Terrific capture, Brenda! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Hope your weekend is going well!
