Taking Strides

Black hidden deep within a forest A focal point leading outward Strides that repeat friction brings heat A heart filled with hope inspires the beat Atmosphere with hoofs intense Trampling over the reasons to avoid Existence stark to compare Through the traffic of daily noise Minds that race to the pace Shredding through the trees Movement over obstacles Left or right into the mist Where the darkness may be kept Courage to trample branches with no fear To break clear of the path set in the way As night does fall a horse ran away Where will it be when the forest becomes day?

In an endless meadow...Thank you Maria for taking the time to read this one and comment. I was inspired by an image of a Black Stallion in a dark forest galloping. I appreciate the compliment about my style of writing that is encouraging for me to continue. Have a wonderful day!
