There is no creature as magnificent as an unbridled horse.
Galloping in a field
Its powerful legs stoking the tall grass
The rhythmic beat of its hooves hitting the earth
Its mane swaying in the wind
Sweat glistening on its soft coat.
When you touch their supple coat
There is a connection between the horse
And the rider, that cannot be shaken by the wind
As the vast expanses of the field
Pass beneath you, the earth
Seems to disappear beneath the grass
Listen to the soothing sound of the grass
Caressing your horses coat
As you travel together to the ends of the earth
The dark, mysterious eyes of your horse
The sparrows chirps echoing though the field
The smell of flowers carried with the wind
Feel the breath of the crisp wind
Smell the aroma of the grass
The sunset having disappeared from the field
Touch its coat
The energy of the horse
Grounds you to the earth
The trees on the horizon penetrating the earth
Your horse piercing the strong winds
Mud splattering across your horses
Barrel. The crickets hidden in the grass
Echo their call. Your horses black coat
Reflecting the spirit of all horses
Invisible against the dark expanses of the field
The sounds of mice scurrying through the field
The imprints of your horses hooves in the earth
The ends of your coat
Furling up in the wind
As the grass
Sways with the rhythm of your horses step
That horse one with the earth
As the sky sets and you notice a tired horse
You return once again to earth
