In My Dreams

In my dreams I am outrunning horses
They strive to catch up, whinnying and neighing
I laugh; my hair is streaming so hard in their faces.
I am now the wind, catching them up in an exuberant way
I fling them onto a mountain top with other horses, free and wild.
They nod their approval, knowing I will send a helicopter full of oats and hay.
Even though I fear horses, I wish them well.
Even in my dreams.

Oh, I love horses! They are so sweet, but they can be gullible, and sometimes too bold for their own good. I loved your poem. In fact, it's a FAVE!

Thank you Hank. I have fallen off of two galloping horses; I am terrified of them and yet I still love them!
