Wild Horses Run Free ~

These words were inspired by a recent chat with a friend.

Wild Horses Run Free
Reins tighten with every pull
She holds steady
Compassion for the animals
And a heaviness in her chest

They want to move
But she is too sad to let them go
She loosens her grip just enough
They move forward
But not too far

She can’t handle full speed
Tired and tense
How much longer can she hold tight

She stiffens and readjusts
Her body lengthens
Feet braced
Arms locked

Not too fast
She speaks softly, carefully
But the horses are wild
And want to run

How much longer can she stay in control
Does she really want to

What if~

She is preventing these beautiful animals from their destiny
Pulling them away
From what God created them for

Her mind wanders
Her breath loosens
Her arms bend just enough
Her feet relax
The animals surge forward
Panic
Then release

The grip is gone
And slowly
Their run becomes steady
Grace
Beauty

Her body soft
Hands open
Reins falling

The horses guide her
Protect her
Love her
​
She is free
Wild
And free
