it is a very foggy time in my life right now... so many things making me unsure and afraid and somehow, this came out of me a little while ago....
Ear to the ground, silent
listen to thrumming ground, low
at first, mere hint of a feeling
expectant dust rises distantly
as the void between Wild and me swiftly closes...
proud ears upperked, alive to sensation of her very life
the dark halo flying behind, and she lopes, closer and closer
flecks of foam fly from flank...
and triumphant mouth
she grazes farther every day
there are nights she doesn't come to me at all
separate from her I feel small and alone
but as i see her madly breaching
the gap between us, i throw back
my head, whoop and holler!!!
and somewhere inside me there is a burst, i am free
there is strength as i need it
there is speed, and surety
as i begin to match her ferocity
and i fly in her direction
and i leap with all of my might
and my body turns on air, and somehow
i land my target
and again, that firey spirit of mine and i are one
and try as you may, you will not break us
