I and My Horse are One

Sadly I don't have a horse but a dear friend of mine, Susanna, does. And I just felt like writing this for her and her beautiful horse Jeb. :)

I and My Horse are One

When a radiant pasture fills my eyes

With wildflowers and grasses tall

Beneath the vibrant Texas sky

I feel an urge, a pleading call

An urge to ride through fields so lush

Behind me a hear a familiar sound

I feel the slightest, loving push

I smile as I turn around

There stands my friend, loyal and true

He wants me to ride too of course

Anytime I want, he wants to go too

My beautiful darling horse

I feel at home the minute I mount him

And stroke his red-brown neck

I can’t imagine being without him

As I give his sides a gentle kick

At once, we’re off; my heart is filled

With exhilaration, excitement, glee

He runs so fast it scarce seems real

It’s like we’re flying – swift and free

When we’re together, we’re connected

It’s as if I’m running too

By each other’s spirit we’re infected

In golden fields ‘neath skies of blue

I’m uplifted, cheered, and free of care

Feeling his energy through the reins

The wind rushing through my hair

Is blowing through his mane

Our love is deep, our friendship sweet

As we ride through the glow of the sun

Together, at once, our hearts feel complete

I and my horse are one
