The horse is
Beauty in motion,
A loyal partner,
An honest friend.

A portrait in disguise.
Manes like cascading water
Tails proud, silky banners
Coats shimmer in the morning sun
Muscles ripple beneath slick pelts.

I catch my breath
As their shadows dance
In midnight moon beams.

Kind eyes embellish
A forgiving face,
Yet passionate blood
Roars through their veins

Horses are sacred
Wild
And free
