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
