Accelerating,
Bucking and racing and sprinting
Dashing
As I try
Try try try
To reign her in
Swooshing
Blazing and laughing and kicking in stride
Flying
As I stretch
To drag her back from a full, open run
To a kind, generous trot
I beg for a break
Craving a journey
Slow enough
To sear all she is showing me
into the infinity of my soul
She mocks my coaxing
Tossing her head
As I grasp to harness her pace
She leaps high to remind me
The saddle
And harness
And reigns
Are of my world
Not hers
She laughs
At full throttle
As she streaks through each moment
This Racehorse
She is
My life.
