Obscured Vision

Once I feared a languid daemon Draped with a sullen piercing horn I was dazzled till I faced the truth When I saw a stranger's hoof I had to climb the highest peak To get a glimpse of what I seek What I saw was white as snow Silky smooth with nature's glow Now my friend and not my foe This is truth, now I know I had a cloud that dimmed my vision Spoiling me from perfect fusion I had a glint of a feathered wing Transforming her into a beautiful thing It was when she had spread her wings That she'd obtained the stature of a thousand kings Her beauty is known throughout this land Perfect being, just 'so grand A mere legend on Utopian soil Rounded with a halcyon coil I had to see her dance on the silver clouds Or in the beauty of the southern veldts Before she could gain a rewarding bard And gallop straight into my heart
