For Me

"You can't do it!"
This is what I heard
My mind whirled in disagreement
I can, she chose me.

The silky smooth coat
My hands never wishing to leave
The unbelievable trust in her eyes
The nudge of encouragement I receive.

My body shakes as I slip on
She stays without movement
The nudge of my legs lead her
She glides like the wind; just her and me.

† Somewhat Wild Of Creativity This Seems An Abstract And Different Possibilities As Interpretations Unto Me ? Is It Object Abject Metaphoric Or Perhaps Even Symbolic ? Wonderful Feature I Would Say For These Very Reasons And Yes Your Beauty Can ˜ Love, John
