Lightning
i sit upon a majestic horse
a skittish cowgirl
i am for a day
dog keeps watch
drives me into bear country
i hold tight the reins
until my knuckles are white
then red then I laugh
at how silly i feel
for high atop Lightning
i release myself
to almighty God
loosen the reins
He has my back
and my saddle’s lighter
and Lightning snickers
at the cowgirl wannabee
but relaxes just the same
