Heavenly Synchronicity — found this sweet poetic duo in my Journal, dated exactly twelve years ago today! It captures the feel of my wonderful horses, my wonderful rides. Sharing it with you here, winter time, when riding seems far away . . .
What is a Ride?
Rhythm
Motion
Thundering Hooves
Flowing
Freedom
Spirits soar
Synchronized
Harmonized
Metronomed Motion
Fantasized
Comes alive
Craving more
Sure-footed
Bobsled
Bounding o’er fallen logs
Swift-flying —
Sidestepping
Branches in our path —
Galloping
Laughing
Surging Slalom,
Transforming
Life’s doldrums
Into absolute blast!
Magical
Communion
Discreetly perceived,
Fused
United
Melding ease
Soaring
Surging
Powerful, Pure
Freedom
Motion
Mutual rapport
Surging Light
I hop into my saddle
And sail off into the forest
On my Rocking Horse Canter,
Feeling my body roll
In harmony with the
Hypnotic motion of my
Pony’s impassioned gallop,
Energized! Alive!
Glassy, Glossy, Silken, Grand,
I flow in his movement and
Meld onto his back like a custom-made
Glove on a hand —
A perfect fit with perfect Tempo
Gaining momentum as we pulse
Over crests and troughs
In our fickle path.
Waves and Currents steer our course
Whim and Fancy spur us on
Our forward-flowing liquid journey —
We continue thundering strong.
Smells of fragrant vanilla pine bark
Meet my senses, tearing eyes.
Dodging branches, ducking, dipping
Labyrinth obstacles, all in stride.
In these woods the Spirit overflows,
Transforms my steed
Into a magical fantasy of
Power-driven speed . . .
Here are found my favorite day-dreams,
Releasing me from traffic, work or strife —
This my treasured time of solace
With my Pony, surging light.

I’m riding along with you. Glorious trip aboard my dream horse, borne on the wings of your words.
:)) :)) :)) Bravo! I’m glad you’re able to RIDE again!!! The energy is all there, from every ride we’ve ever shared with our magical Pegasus ponies! We can re-connect any time we wish! That’s the wonder, the mystery of this vast inter-species, inter-energetic matrix called Nature and Horses and Life! And thanks for your lovely words!!!
So sweet! Thank you for sharing these beautiful poems! We have an indoor arena, so I have been able to ride through the winter, but it’s not the same as being outside. My mare and I can’t wait to get out again, into the fields, the forest, onto the beach and into the water! =)
Agreed! It’s out in Nature that the real relationship with our horses blossom. How great you and your mare have that to look forward to!
Have not been on email much…just found this! Wonderful…almost as refreshing as a ride!!! 🙂
Hurray!! :))
