Saying No to Gravity
February 26, 2014
It hard to think that on the back on at 1500 pound animal
is where I find solace.
In fact it is the only state besides sleeping
that my heartbeat is consistent.
The raspy snorts and pounding hooves
are music to my ears.
I am home.
My horse is eager,
waiting for commands.
He is ready to go,
he is seeing the jumps.
I am led to believe his own heart is steady
and in sync with mine.
We are on the same page,
horse and girl.
When we start,
we are both caught up in our course.
Three, two, one,
and then I am flying.
