When the black horse sings (talking to Lilo)

When the black horse sings…
she sings a melody
so powerful, so profound,
even the sky bows in silence.

When the black horse sings…
she sings a tune
so vulnerable, so exposed
a single note can split open the earth’s core.

When the black horse sings
she hums a tune
so deep, so dark
that all humankind vibrates
to its core.

Human child,
she sings.
Human child of all origins,
why are you so afraid?

Do you fear you have not
enough control
or---
that you might
accidentally
surrender to
love?
