Proud of Place
Proud of Place
Allowing me to run free
in an open field with
warm, long green grasses
under my hooves
Eagle overhead, we race,
I want to win -
my heart pounding
against my chest
I follow the eagle
into the canyon,
my hooves pound
against the hard dirt
I race the eagle
hearing my hooves
against the stones
drives me on to win
I love you for
allowing me to run free
to my wild place,
with you riding bareback.knight4696 commented on Proud of Place

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
