I feel your four-legs

I feel your four-legs walk
Articulating both me and the ground
We move upon
I wonder if you know how
Humble I am
Reaching for the soul of your earth
Listening to the beat of your heart
Seeking to find a way into your world
Ashamed I ask that you fit mine
A touch upon your satin coat Releases the aroma of grass Reminders of your ancestral path
Forgive the void of time between
Humanity and your noble nations
How can I ease your bondage
You did not choose
You were born into this world of
fenced in limitations
Equine is it enough that I
Hear your plight
I see your sacred innocence
Stepping into the creek to drink the water
I feel you reach into its coolness
Quenching our concerns
gratitude lingers
Your delicate simplicity
Bridging with my respectful admiration
I am committed to the rise to your voice
