Beneath Me

Beneath me is a source of energy so powerful, it could crush my bones
Beneath me is pure muscle, able to pull my arms out of their sockets
Beneath me is pure wind, with a top speed over 40mph, the second fastest land animal on earth
Beneath me is teeth, it could break my skin open without even using full bite pressure
But it doesn’t crush my bones, it doesn’t pull my arms out of their sockets
Nor does it run away, it doesn’t bite me, or kick me
It doesn’t do any of the things that would be expected under the circumstances
Beneath me is a creature, capable of unimaginable power, full of willfulness and strength of heart.
It is full of character, passion is easily seen in its eyes.
It never forgets but easily forgives.
Beneath me is one of nature’s wonders, built for speed, agility, and endurance.
Beneath me is a trustworthy friend, a partner, and a family member.
Beneath me is an extinction of my own body, we move as one, in total understanding.
We dance in perfect unison, two minds communicate as one.
Beneath me is my reason for living
Beneath me is my horse
