A Rare Breed

Desert Sun and Songline have that secret combination
To bring about that miracle of one special creation .
A chestnut colt of fair face with a twisted teardrops kiss,
Those lucky legs and a quite way you would not want to miss .
Like down the final furlong as the crowd begin to shout .
Like the first drop of rain that falls in the middle of a drought .
Like the view from a Grandstand over turf of emerald green .
Like the waiting time a promise takes until it can be seen .
Like the quenching of a thirst in the heat of desert suns .
Like Songlines plucked on an open string as inspiration comes .
Like an artists brush on canvas where sunlines leaves a mark .
Like the glowing pride of an ember much better for the spark .
Like a song in the heart that is calling out to be heard .
Beauty is a silent friend difficult to put into words .
In a stable there it stands the Pride of Inverness Stud .
The new born fortunate foal with the million dollar blood.
