Wild Horses 

Inside I am a wild horse, churning up the sand

On a frothy shore

Keeping a good pace

Beneath the moonlight 

Breathing with purpose and with the call of the wild within

My body is free – from pain – and growing with each step

My lips form into a smile, froth a little at the sides – with excitement and anticipation

I have never run with a herd but I have battled to find my place 

My coat is glossy and black, a slight sheen of sweat 

Eyes wide and like Tiger’s Eye

I run not to win but for the pleasure of movement

Of the sense of flow that comes without thought 

Journeying in a different sphere

Forgetting and remembering all at once

That inside I am free – wild as an eagle – or a single black stallion 

Claiming the shore for themselves – unable to stop or freeze.
