11月6日 PAINTING STUDIO And The Seven Horsemen by Stephen Craig Rowe The seven names are known only to themselves and the Heavenly Father. From the dawn of imagination they served kings, queens, Liberty, the Dragon, magicians, churches and states. Though seldom seen their heroic deeds were often called miracles and they answered to no man. Some good folk thought of them as warrior angels, while those who dwell in darkness thought of them as ghost riders and fear. Though they have been about for as long as forver I only saw them about ten or fifteen years ago.
My painting studio at the time was located in an old coffee warehouse on the river front that had been converted into trendy shops, offices, and the Contemporary Art Center of Peoria occupied the second and third floors. The third floor was reserved as rental space for artists, crafts people and such. I had a private studio at the time and as I recall it was a cold winter night as I painted alone in the building. The old wood floors and bricks would often make cracking sounds as the winds pelted windows. A painting I was working on was not quite what I wanted and took a cloth to wipe the canvas clean. As it was rather late I put the rag aside and decided to call it a night. While putting things to right and cleaning brushes the cloth on the floor caught my eye. I held it to the light and there they were.
 My mind's eye gained sight as I gazed at the image then the image became poetic and very real.
The Seven Horsemen
rode upon a storm
deep in the night
unseen
silent.
Rather like a dream
tossed in
soft sheets,
turning to each other
with a knowing nod,
a sign,
perhaps
or was it
banners waving,
horses tossing tail
in flight of
riders on
the storm and
into the
fires
of
dawn to
be
born again.
 And they rode
the fire,
and
all night
long
touched
dreams,
gave hope,
took nothing,
and
in dawn,
rode into
the
Light
 There but for a moment
was peace.
Then the Seven Horsemen
woke again
in
the reality of
myth
nodded to each other,
for only they
and
the
Heavenly Father
know their
names.
Then as dawn
came to day
a whisp
of
frosty mist
gave frim
ground
for
The Seven Horsemen
to
ride!
 I hope you enjoyed this as much as I have enjoyed the writing and, oh, you know.
As ever be well,
Stephen Craig Rowe
