A Desperate Horses Plea

I see you,
do you see me?
I hear you,
do you hear me?

I try very hard
to understand,
the confusing touch
of your human hand!

I don’t want to resist,
but sometimes that’s how I feel,
your energy, your presence,
it’s not always the best deal.

There are other days;
it all feels so very pleasant,
in the now, in the moment
and in the present! 

Please may I ask,
since it was you that chose me,
to give me more time for stuff,
it works wait and see.

I love to learn new things,
but show me slow and right,
I do not speak your language,
I may fright or flight.

If you can promise this,
other things I can forget,
don’t be hard on me or yourself,
no need to get upset.

We are two different species,
I want to learn and love man,
can you really return the loyalty,
I’m pretty sure you can.

I hear you,
I hope now you hear me!
I see you,
I hope now you see me!

I'm a big animal person! I've never had a horse, but I've spent 14 yrs rescuing/caring for feral cats and there's nothing like the feeling that you get when you tame a wild animal and gain it's trust. I really enjoyed this!

This was a cool poem. Horses are so important. My kid was privileged to ride in therapy for a while. Ann

beautiful poetic expression- I love to learn new things,/ but show me slow and right,/ I do not speak your language,/ I may fright or flight.///
