Description
a piece made for -- her horsie passed away some time ago. hope you're ok now, dracan-----------
. . still you're running through your summers fairest . .
. . unsurpassable my bay horse, fearsome . .
. . fiery mane of yours is ever flying . .
. . challenging the senile, weak, and tired . .
. . memory is full of endless trotting . .
. . like the stable filled with warmest odour . .
. . i don't know who owns this golden meadow . .
. . evening up above is dark and sudden . .
. . this flood plain... we both had come to like it . .
. . in those fields we'd both run young and riot . .
. . till alone you jumped over the highest wall . .
. . to the place where being stops at all . .
. . how, how come, my bay horse, fair and stunning . .
. . that you're gone, but always keep on running? . .

***
Vis dar savo vasaromis bėgi,
ak, nepavejamas mano bėri!
Plaikstosi ugniniai tavo karčiai --
iššūkis senatvei, gėlai, kančiai.
Atmintis pilna bėgimo šito,
tartum tvartas tavo kvapo šilto.
Nežinau, kieno yra tas laukas,
vakaras virš jo -- toksai nelauktas,
tas arimas, į kurį išėjom,
pievos, kur, pilni jaunystės, šėlom,
kol tu vienas peršokai tą kliūtį,
už kurios jau nebereikia būti.
Kaipgi šitaip, bėri, mano bėri,
kad nėra tavęs, o tu vis bėgi?

It's... beautiful. The perspective is difficult, but you handled that brilliantly. And I adore the colour...
