On African Plains.


like wild horses, on African plains.

we run free despite those who doubt us.

doubt our survival.

we run free despite those who would cage us.

despite those who would change us.

An ancient fire looking for revival;

lurks in our bones and demands to be awakened.

so we remain wild.

despite those who would knock us down and put a bit in our mouths.

telling us our words mean nothing 

and our hearts are better broken.

TamingOfSeaWolves

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves
