I took a walk today to a field not far from here,

The day was sunny, warm and clear.

I sat on the fence and watched the horses run.

They looked so free and like they were having fun.

They raced agaisnt the wind and seemed to fly.

I wanted to join them in thier bliss as they raced by.

The sound of thier hooves was steady and loud.

They were a beautiful sight, powerful and proud.

Thier bodies were drenched with much sweat,

But they were driven on and wouldn't quit.

Then without warning they stopped in front of me.

One graceful creature walked over and i reached out in glee.

He let me climb on his back and he started to race,

I felt the wind strong and warm in my face

I felt afraid as he picked up his pace and speed.

But it was a good fear and it was invigorating indeed.

I was amazed by the strength of the creature beneath me.

I could feel his muscles strain and work and I felt free,

He ran for awhile, until he was tired.

I felt as if I had been running with him and my energy was expired.

I climbed down from his back and patted his head.

Thankyou kind creature, was all I said.

He looked at me and I felt he knew and understood

I left there, but knew I would not forget, never could.
