About the Poem
This poem was inspired by a moonlit ride on my beautiful buckskin mare, one warm fall evening. When my heart was crying for some release and I needed to feel free and alive again.
This is dedicated to my beautiful buckskin quarter horse mare, who gives her all, and loves me so faithfully.
To Drink The Wind |

| Night is falling Moon gently moving across velvet sky As it casts shadows and soft light upon us It's just you and I The earth rises up to meet us Wind swirling over us As we leave dust and leaves in our wake Pounding across the sleeping earth Hooves flying Haunches churning Mane stinging my eyes The blood pulses through me like liquid fire Adrenaline rushing through my veins as we hit top speed I'd give anything to be you Though I know I'll never be So, I resign myself to a two footed fate As I borrow your speed And mimic your grace Leaning forward into your stride My body one with yours Moon shining full upon us The only sounds are you and I, and the crisp autumn leaves Together as one You and I You Grace, beauty, and speed I A mere mortal, tormented and despaired Yet for those brief moments When we become one I breathe you I feel you I am you A mighty force of muscle and bone Unstoppable and free The wind catches my breath in a gust Drying my tears in it's wake Troubles lost in a whirl of hoof, mane, and muscle Together we drink the wind My spirit is revived My soul is renewed My mind awakened from it's slumber Together We are one |
