The Mighty Horse

God has not forgotten you, Mighty Horse. At one time you ran through canyons, and green meadows never before seen by men. You were as free as the icy waters which come from snow-capped mountains. Free to go anywhere you wanted. You tossed your head in defiance. Your mane shimmered with magnificence. Like a king, you stood, hidden away in a dream-like world of sweet, fragrant grasses. God allowed men to rule over you. But He never allowed men to tame your spirit. It remains proud and free. Even though you are a servant to men now, you show great strength. You have retained the noble spirit-soul of a Warrior King. Janet Marie Bingham

i really love the expression of admiration for this most magnificent of creatures, Janet. I was a rider from early in my youth and even trained a couple in my late teens and early twenties. I really liked all of your poems. There's a hint of that in my poem Buffalo Pound. Also really liked the poem about decluttering. Warm Regards. My forthcoming book: "Birth to Death and Points in Between: A Book of poems, perceptions, reflections, and inspiration" will be out mid-year. Regards, Mel

Thank you. I love horses. I enjoy their beauty and gracefulness. When I was a teenager I road in horse shows and there were times I went to a horse camp with my horse that was near Julian. Janet M Bingham
