The Perfect Moment in My eyes
I would have my eyes closed, head lifted into the shinning, summer sun, and my hands would hang loosely at my sides, all the while I would listen to the thundering hooves of a majestic creature. The beautiful beast would slow her steady loping rhythm to a halt. I would open my eyes to see her loving gaze staring right back, with no more than inches separating us. Her black coat would glisten in the sunlight while my long, blond hair would dance and mingle with her silky, ebony mane. I would lift my hand and she would rest her velvet, soft nose there, and a gentle sigh would escape both our lips. Standing in an open meadow, the gra.ss would be whispering in the breeze, while a soft trickling melody would come from a near by stream, and a fawn would be quietly, waiting for his mothers return. All the while, I would know that this is my land, and my heart would be content to know that it could roam free here. With a cry of pure joy, I would mount the Friesian with ease, then as a pair we would gallop through the meadow, fly over the stream, and push all boundaries tasting independence that was just out of reach. We would be alone, yet our hearts would be so full of love that we would need no other.
My childhood dream would be satisfied. All the planning, saving, and praying to the Lord would be worth while. I would have my Friesian, my mare, and my pa.ssion renewed. All my life I have craved a relationship, and all the ones that I made just didn’t seem like they were enough. Then I met my first horse and from there on I have loved them, with a part of my soul that will give to no other. For a wise man once said, “A horse is an angel without wings” and I believe that is exactly what the Lord sent to me, a guardian angel to draw me closer.
