I dream of horses…

 

Slick, shiny, powerful

intelligent, gentle, fragile creatures.

 

The silent partner of human history

gazing at us through trusting eyes

carrying our wishes on their backs.

 

Gleaming in living colours

light sliding over muscles

in graceful balance. 

 

Do they know they are beautiful?

 

My heart and mind strive

to release that beauty

through paints and brushes.
