Lead my pony
across this wide moor to where
the cuckoo sings

Eh, for some reason I'm not particularily fond of the poem this time. o.O Don't ask me why, I'm not all together sure. But, I love the image! ^0^ I've never seen it before, but it is gorgeous, so thank you for posting and sharing! ^^

OK, I like the poem for the relaxed mood it sets.

And of course, I always love Gackt in anything resembling a frock coat, 'cuz he needs a wide coat for both horses and piano benches. Would love to see him in historical garb as 1. Prince Eugene of Savoy (Eugen von Savoyen)
2. Katherine the Great in her imperial guard uniform.

This combination is a bit hard to grasp for me too. I think it's knowing that cuckoos only sing in Spring and early Summer and then seeing all 'em Autumn leaves!

It IS a gorgeous picture though. And knowing that Gackt likes horses so much almost makes it seem unposed.
