The Immortal Gift
She was all of the elements cast into living, breathing flesh and
blood.
Fire blazed within her bright, intelligent eyes.
Lightning flashed, unseen, within her legs as she streaked along America's tracks.
The thunder of her hooves announced her coming and strength, capturing the heart of the
nation.
Valiant blood coursed through her veins, as her courage and mettle were unsurpassed.
The wind, he loved and wooed her, rushing about her lithe muscular body, ever challenging
her greater swiftness as she galloped into his embrace.
The sun shone brightly from her gallant heart, aflame with the will to win at all coats.
But alas, one cannot expect the elements to be bridled and earth bound for too long.
She was released from her fleshly bondage and regained her rightful place racing among the
clouds, frolicking amongst Heaven's stars.
The mortals mourned her departure, their tears a bitter rain, when the noble Ruffian
returned to her ethereal existence, for they knew her like would not come again.
