Of
Horses and Mythology: Medusa’s Wisdom
Dulce Garcia
Oh, my warrior hero!
Your winged horse form flashes across
the starred sky,
And as my chest swells with the
warmth of sweet anticipation, I ask
What messages do you bring from the
Unseen realms?
Are you man or beast, fallen angel or
immortal god?
What mysteries lie hidden behind the
deep abyss of your sad eyes?
Dare I look behind the Medusa mask
that you like to wear
In those chilling moments of terrible
revelation?
I have been carried on your back with
indescribable grace,
I have been thrown from your back and
known the power of your fury.
Are you to be trusted or feared, or
both?
And do you love me, I wonder?
Your equine figure roars up and the
clash of thunder is everywhere,
You rear and buck and your eyes bulge
with wrathful anger.
You have a lion’s face and snakes
adorn your head.
“I have much to teach you, beloved
daughter,” I hear you whisper in my heart.
“Behold this frightful image, feared
by men from beginning less time.
I am the wrathful warrior that has
taken men into countless battles.
I have died many deaths and have been
reborn as angel and demon.
Dare you look at this wounded soul,
angered and betrayed by the folly of man?
Dare you remove the Gorgon’s mask and
behold the reflection of your own face?”
I approach you slowly,
And caress your flowing mane with my
trembling hands.
I close my eyes and wrap my arms
around your neck,
Possessed by the warm embrace of
aspiring Love.
Demon or angel? I do not care!
With your demon fire you remind us of
the tragic history of mortal man.
Under your angel wings, we are
reminded of the graceful path of our immortal souls.
From the blood of Medusa sprang forth
the winged Pegasus,
To guide our journeys into the
graceful realms of the Spirit World –or so I’ve heard.
Take flight my winged demon-angel of
perfect Beauty!
I will risk to be taken on your back
through the magical lands of forbidden knowledge.
As I mount, your powerful body lifts
me up to touch the silvery moon of my childhood,
And I know that your love for me is
eternal.
