A Young-Lady & her  Beau-Steed

(You all could ride the wind if someone would just saddle it)

 

White cloud-fleece caress cerulean sky as talent-young-lady prides

Smile beauty-innocent greets “Hi! Beau horse!” forward she strides

 

 

Bits of peppermint sweet-treats soft-hands to gentle rub him down

Big-Boy nuzzles-soft her loveliness displaying mutual-love bound

 

Anxious for a new adventure each dutiful to assigned roles participates

A thorough-brush, hoof-check as waiting pleasure-amplified anticipates

 

Miss not a subtle stable-delicacy: tack room leather, hay loft aromas-fine

Pad-saddle-girth, not too tight; slip on bridle-bit to initiate “fun” –design

 

Slow-lead enough the cayuse to relax tense massive-muscles tight

Check bridle-fit, tighten the girth, prepare to mount, smile bright

 

Walk horse-flesh friend around the ring, bring him to slow trot

Down to calm walk go canter then check what might be forgot

 

Corkscrew dust-tendrils mini-swirl rise wind-churned hoof-falls

Soft-whispered “whinny-neigh” tacked-mounted trusty steed calls

 

Concentration: seat-balance upright, heels down eyes forward total proud

Knee-high black boots, jodhpurs, crisp blouse, coat-fitted, helmet allowed

 

Gently-gathered leather reins collect equine-charge master-magnificent

“Sweet wind blows between pert ears” Bedouin-nomad metaphor-ascent

 

Pleasure-time initial spent in the arena refines kindred-spirit friend-bond

As karma-harmony evolves any resistance dissolves in true Love!-found

 

Across the meadow-green flies flashing steed, one with hair-blazing girl

Nature-personified beauty-harmony soft-gentle intertwined Love!-swirl

 

No rail-challenge to tall for wing-ed Unicorn with she astride to fly

I am woman! To tame a “curiosity”-universe just beyond eternal sky

 

Then, when too soon, a relentless sun-trek again traversed its celestial realm

Long-shadows soften eve purple-pride ride home with beauty at yon helm

 

Return sojourn to cool the steed as our young lady gives soft neck a pat

Each finds adventure-life grand if one true allows: Love! is where it’s at

 

May thee be satiated with Life---through…Love!

To miss any instant be sin against Master above

 

Amen!

Day 84

 

Dad’s poems

 

Surprised they even noticed my space-time

Only a six year old always thinks in rhyme

 

Pleasant-life soft ebb and flow satiates me spirit

Faith! Family! Freedom! My love always near it

 

Welcome! Join me on this awesome journey-wild

Hold tight! Imagine time spent with an irreverent child

 

Rainbows! Flutter-bys! Unicorns! Oh! Fantasy-friends!?

My leave to Liberty dares beget “high”-Freedom sends

 

Sometimes an occasional love-point teasing-stinging barb-jab

Outrageous vocabulary obfuscates? Perhaps a dictionary-rehab

 

Words printed black-style on white within a thought they start

“Inspired”? Hmm! Every issue born of a most generous heart

 

And, on occasion to express true love, a personal name-note

Or, subtle-read between the lines discover what I really wrote

 

Sweet fragrance flows from sacred adventure-lived event

“A rose by any other name…” simply embrace the sentiment

 

So, onward again as yet another dawn has graced space-time

Weather-be what weather-is and I’ll design golden-sunshine

 

For might He assign rain Thankful I’ll be with a lively hop

Sing-loud a tune as a-purpose I dance between cool raindrops

 

Get aboard me train adventure-bound, it’s no charade

Vacate the tracks, none has leave rain on me parade

 

Live! Love! Laugh! Focus contemplate!

Vigilant be! Not one future be ever-late!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!

In one eternal instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!

 

Amen!
