Pegasus

by Steve Doyle

Winged horse with a bridle of gold
Favorite of Zeus
Keeper of the Thunderbolt.

Splendid stallion that Bellerophon rode
Against the Chimaera
In a timeless tale, a legend of old.

Alas, the unfortunate rider was thrown.
He angered the gods
Trying to fly to the Olympians' home.

The magnificent horse was placed in the skies
A Constellation
Among the stars he flies.

Still in the halls of Olympus
On a magic night
Can be heard the hooves of Pegasus.
