My Horse

 

 

My horse lets me experience a little bit of freedom

A small taste of clouds never felt by others

When riding my horse

Her ears turn into the most fine-tuned of radar

Able to pick up anything and everything

Her eyes turn into stars

Able to show me a galaxy lost to human eyes

Her body is a big cloud

Able to show me what it is to be floating around a vast sky

Her legs turn into the tide of the biggest ocean

Able to sweep with long powerful strides covering the earth

Her tail is the wind itself

Able to decide when and where to blow

Her face is a soft pillow

Able to lay itself in my lap with a calmness never experienced by humans

With all these physical characteristics we are forgetting the most important part

Her heart and soul

Able to touch me like no other and give me the sister and best friend I never had.
