His coat a gleaming chestnut as he walked up the ramp.
His brilliant white wings unfurled.
His hooves shining on all their colors.
He whinnys, the cries unheard to him.
He walks into the meadows.
Where his dam and sire gleefully greet him.
For they have not seen him in 27 years.
He touched many, leaving most hearts broken.
As he glanced back down to earth, murmuring softly.
"We shall meet again my friends, some day."
He turns back and trots up to his parents, tears dripping down his cheekbones.
For we shall meet again, its inevitable.
Though many wish the day will never come.
When we climb the stairs.
Into heaven.
