These poems were inspired during an afternoon spent in the pasture with her horse.

Behold the horse
Strength and grace
heaved up into one massive stately creature.

Legs like sculpture
Hooves of sharp river stone
Eyes big and gentle as moons.

Behold the horse
Muscle and depth
Streaming thunder.

Graceful even in shaking off flies
He stamps and the earth salutes
Resounding the echo of his beauty.

Behold the horse
We see ourselves reflected,
small in his eye, yet large in his heart.

Grazing in fading light,
two horses, noses nearly touching
find the fresh blades after
yesterday's rain.

They glide together
a single step,
then another, blinking,
happy in the moment.

Until one snorts, "time to go"
and they head off,
down the path
into the green.
