I am but a girl  
Hiding  
Peeking ‘round the fence of your vast lands  
Mesmerized by the expanses of its beauty  
In wonder at the luxuriousness of your soul  
Afraid  
To trespass, uninvited, unwelcomed;  
Desperate  
To wander barefoot through soft hills.  
  
I watch a silken stallion await  
So proud and measured, so unaware,  
Prance, restrained before me  
Lean legs stepping, dancing restlessly  
He longs to move, to run,  
To carry swiftly through the wind  
In breeding bound in duality  
Trained, obedient, elegant; yet, unfree  
His dancing feet and impatient mane  
Betray the wild nature of his heart.  
  
I long to set my fingers on his cheek  
To gently slide bit and bridle from his mouth  
To stroke his firm, soft body as I move  
Unbinding him from the fruits of expectation  
Then watch  
As he suddenly realizes he is free  
And weep to see him bolt into full flight  
And laugh to see him dance upon the wind  
And hope that he will return to me again.
