** Another product of my MFA program (poetry workshop)
Ride like the wind silver champion
of four-legged warriors.
You thrive on the memories
of your forefathers,
living in the moment
through stories told by spirits
whose hands never clawed the dirt.
Shake the earth like thunder
when you fly across the plains.
Your mane glistens like liquid gold –
gripped by the wind
with every step, every pace, every gallop.
Make for the hills
and celebrate your freedom
under the stars where you came
into this world,
and where you will someday
join the forerunners of your legacy.
