I, Centaur gallop on wind and fire <br />Across the meadows, across the mire <br />While demons in unearthly rage <br />Bellow from their burning stage <br />Curses on them above <br />“Let Lucifer take you below” <br />Saddened by some desire <br />We fall, but not on fire <br />Heaven help the fallen man <br />Here I am, I fall where I stand <br />Listen demons of the mist <br />I mock you with hand and fist <br />Come take your bounty fire <br />I wait for you across the mire <br />Hordes of hell now gather close <br />Listen to thy heavenly host <br />Listen to yon sweet harp play <br />Now listen to my sharp blade slay <br />Turn around - run <br />Cower once more underground <br />Back across meadow and mire <br />I, Centaur gallop on wind and fire <br /> <br /> <br />17 Nov 1978<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-centaur-a-fantasy/
