The Island
April 15, 2016
Stressful day-
feeling lonely-
Peppy the horse,
my guard who comforts me:
his rides are my road.
Now together my day
is better evolved
into a protective, bumpy trot
along a pathway
down the green grass
to the streaming creek.
While the grass is swaying
in the wind, and the creek
flowing, I'm laying on his back
looking at the sky
calm and secure,
slowly falling to sleep
resting my head
on his mane.

Even though you may be feeling down or lonely, you should be able to go somewhere that makes you feel special, to spend time in your own world: a peaceful, calm place where you can just be you.
