H is for Horses

For the second year I decided to participate in the A-Z Blogging Challenge.  Each April bloggers write for 26 days (Sundays off). Each day is a consecutive letter of the alphabet.

Today is April 9th   and the  Heavenly letter H

Fantasy Dream is another drabble from The Bench. It actually contains 106 words including the prompt.

Remember, a prompt is a word or phrase (or photo) to elicit creativity.

Fantasy Dream

Over the Hill and Far Away or so it seems from my perspective. The tree stoops, its leaves leisurely float soundlessly to the snow covered ground, like angels’ tears. Five bright blue horses calmly amble among the branches, several bending to nibble the sweet grass, while others stand in place, hushed, as if waiting for the artist to paint their portrait. The contrast and allure:   blue animals, white snow and green plant, together with the golden and cadmium red foliage, this idyllic scene that I gaze upon, wounds my soul.  I gravitate toward the vision. The image must be real. Dreams are never this breath taking.
