THE CUTIE MARK POEMS – PONIES AND AMORPHIS
All my life I had been weak on my wings
Helpless fly, unable to hold my own
All my life I had feared falling off the clouds
Scared I fell into world below my own
Ne'er before
Had I seen the green world
Boundless beauty it offered
Under sun
I saw wonders born of earth
Miracles of nature's work
On the ground I had been once scared to see
Thrived the world full of colors, light and life
All my life I had been weak on my wings
On the ground I am not afraid to fall
On the sky
Vaults of heaven gave me
Wings to fly above the clouds
Under sun
Woodland creatures guided me
Breathe the air of living earth (the green world…)
Through the woods tranquil
I heard fauna's songs
Gentle wind told me stories of the land
Smiling I answered, understood their words
Learned to love the life on ground
Below heaven…
Under clouds
A new world opened to me
World so rich and beautiful
Under sun
I saw wonders born of earth
Miracles of nature's work
Ne'er before
Had I seen the green world
Boundless beauty it offered
Nevermore
I would fear soaring in skies:
World below me is my friend
My heart in learning of arts
To be costumer of lives
An artisan graceful
Needles and threads my swords and shields
My armors made of the finest silks
I had a talent to craft
An eye to match
With a young ambition:
Make dresses of princess' worth
Sew suits fit for a prince
But still my skills were lacking
The final touch to fulfill my art…
In evening's dim it flickered:
Spell evoked from the heart
With magic's guide I started
The journey to the unknown
"Come rain or snow or choking drought
I won't turn away!
I'm on my way to find out
My destiny's call, what I yearn for…"
Followed the path for my fate
For what lies beyond the far horizon
My spell led me across the land
Through forests, rivers and hills
Came night, faded daylight
But magic sign still showing forward
Neither hunger nor thirst held me
Not all the dirt in the world
With sunset I kept on moving
With sunrise already on the road…
In evening's dim it had flickered:
Spell evoked from the heart
With magic's guide I had started
The journey to the unknown
"Come rain or snow or choking drought
I won't turn away!
I'm on my way to find out
My destiny's call, what I yearn for…"
At the mountain range my spell finally fades
I'm at the quest's end, what was to find:
This the fate I searched?
Rock atop the hill?
Spell had led me onto the brink of worthless stone?
Sudden, a flash of colored light tore the core of stone apart.
The bowels of earth offered her their hearts, precious gems…
Glass of finest wine
Gathering of the highest ranks
Outside the window glass
I see world raining gray
I wished to find place where I belong
Seek exciting life outside my old world
Yearned new faces, difference
Away from my roots in backward lands
To make a new life of my own (But…)
Is my home really in a world of social norms
When I still feel alone
Who am I to live in a world that adores class
When I don't feel alive
Suffocate in manners
Lost in maze of social standings
No view of horizon
In skyscrapers' shallow woods
I wished to find place where I belong
New exciting life outside my old world
All I found was world of masks
And myself hiding in puppet's clothes
Like doll I gaze through the glass (Then…)
Rain has ceased with purest rainbow ever seen
It marks the sky with a sign
Show me the path, where I can find my happiness
Where I can find my home
Follow the Trail of Rainbow Mane
I was born to ride the heavens
Feel the wind through my mane, within my wings
Blinding sun, deafening gale rushing in ears
Love for the sky, for the flight still guides my heart
Bright sun against the cloudless sky…
Excitement of the flight
Breathe air ten thousand hooves off ground…
Feel truly alive
Unafraid to learn the newest tricks
The ways above the clouds
Unafraid of risks within my deeds
I will just rise again…
Ruthless fouls
Bullying the weakest
"You hurt my friends,
I'll make you regret your words."
Demanding them to make amends
Standing by my friend's side
Gather in line to start the race
Challenge accepted
Skyline's clouds our goal in horizon
Through the practice course
For my friends' sake I'd take any risk
Protect them with my wings
Dashing the course with speed of sound
Fastest ride of my life
Above the clouds wonder was born:
A Sonic Rainboom…
Sphere of colors shines over the folk
Competes with the sun
Arc of light follows the winner's flight
A trail after her mane…
…Through sky she rides
Her greatest flight
Fastest alive
Through barrier strikes…
In the race I earned my greatest prize
Token of skill, speed and power
Across skies
I paint my mark, my rainbow trail…
I: The Gifted Child
Bedroom secured by wisdom
Book piles be my fortress
Candle lighting through the nights
I studied the ways of magic
Learned of the old knowledge and lore
Gathered my knowing of spells
and stories with the days gone by
Ever since seeing Her raise the Sun
I've had the thirst for learning more
Achieve my tasks, fulfill my dreams
Study under the greatest one…
Days turned evenings as time flies
Taken in the endless books
Thousandfold of words in my mind
At last the day had arrived:
Prepared the best I could achieve
I walked the stairs to the tower
Under the shadow of royal Sun
Enter the test, my gifted child
Show them the skills you withhold
If you're the one I've searched for
Try hatch the egg of old beast…
II: The Spark
Trying, desperate, all of her tricks
Casting a spell after 'nother
Final tries went nigh in vain
Before the wave, the tremor…
Gathered force in prismatic light
From her depths the power grew
Echoes under the skin
Shining beyond the borders
Transforming matter at whim
Bending the ground of existence
Awakened power in a spark
Be brave, for I see it now
The talent you hold, my gifted child
Awoken has the oldest magic:
The spark of your heart.
I was a child of stones
A daughter of the rock farmers
No joy was known there
But gloom and endless working
Under the hot, blazing sun
The barren fields, all without green
Granites were our flowers
Our grass made of sand and gravel
I breathed the choking air on the wordless world
I walked on soil bare of seeds…
In a poor family among rocks
A child was born with a bright mane
Pink coat in colorless home
Such a punchline in a grey world
Gathered rocks in silence
Aching hooves our pay for a hard work
Dust on my eyes and throat
I dreamed of world out of my life
I breathed the choking air on the wordless world
I walked on soil bare of seeds
Throughout the days I gazed repressed at hollow skies
A solace for indifference…
The tremor passed over our farm
In colors of rainbow light
Broke through the woods and mountains
Shaking me to the core
The spectrum of light piercing my heart
Woke me to see beauty in life
Encouraging me to shine
Open my heart and smile
Passing the wave I shared my smile
I kindled my first delight
A party to lighten our home
Comfort in hard working days
With spectrum of light I found my path
I learned to smile, sow seeds of joy
To evoke fun in laughless lives
To color the world of stone… with smiles
"Have I told you before how I got my cutie mark…?"
