The Lesson

Floating through the air,
Moving like one,
No gravity pulling us down,
All time stops.

Salute and move off,
Like a new car,
A slight squeeze,
Will release the pressure and make us move.

I forget the world,
The sorrows,
The pains,
And myself.

We are but one,
Flowing with the rhythm,
Created by your hooves,
Pounding softly against the sand.

And the canter,
The breeze easing my hair out behind me,
Which makes my heart sing,
As we revel in the bliss.

A perfect halt,
A reluctant salute,
A turn on the spot,
And walking.

It is over too soon,
The little time we have together,
The lesson is over,
We must let our ways part.

A kiss on your soft nose,
A stroke on your silken neck,
You nibbling my hair,
Reminders that I will see you again.

Next time…

    lol HorseFeathers. Wow, DianaLUV♥ that was amazing! I luv it! Keep up the good work! I felt the girls reluctance to end the lesson. It’s like she never wanted to get off.

    You should never doubt yourself, this poem proves that your writing is beyond amazing. The serenity and dread of the end of the lesson is portrayed perfectly. It makes me think of myself. Every time my instructor tells me to walk I’m scared the ride will have to end, but horses do deserve breaks. That’s the only reason I’ll get off willingly :) Congratulations on your published blog, DianaLUV, I’ll be sure to read it!
