On Hooves of Frost

In Dawn's Embrace, We Ride

Horseback Riding in a Winter Forest

In dawn's embrace, on hooves of frost, we ride.

Through winter's breath, where silver branches gleam,

A dance with shadows on the snow-clad tide.

***

The crisp exhale of morning air does guide.

As steeds prance on, beneath the sun's first beam

In dawn's embrace, on hooves of frost, we ride.

***

Beneath a sky where azure hues reside

Our spirits soar, like echoes of a dream

A dance with shadows on the snow-clad tide.

***

The world unfolds, a canvas far and wide.

Our hearts entwined with every rhythmic scheme.

In dawn's embrace, on hooves of frost, we ride.

***

The silence speaks, our joy we cannot hide.

On winding trails, where memories redeem

A dance with shadows on the snow-clad tide.

***

With every stride, a tale of freedom's pride

A bond unbroken, as the seasons teem.

In dawn's embrace, on hooves of frost, we ride.

A dance with shadows on the snow-clad tide.
