Black Beauty
Do you ever remember reading Black Beauty.
It is still my favorite book.
Have you ever had and animal.
That you had to sell that was like your BFF
If I had my Black Beauty he and I would still
race in the woods, swim in the creek, go for trail rides,
Race cars up and down the street, but you know what
It doesn't even have to be a horse because I'm certain that
At least once you raised or became that Black Beauty's Girl
Or Boy.
All it takes
A hoof beat is all it takes
For a girl to love
With trauma far behind her
All that was scarred is hidden
But this time with love
A breath is all it takes
the fresh air to help
the pain go away
A swish of a tail and shake of a Mane is all it takes
with a love so strong and a bond
unbreakable we are the toughest of them
The eyes are the best and so is the feel.
The softest part of your withers,
Your fetlock and your hocks so silky
Can you tell how I have flown
On such a beat as this
because after all
A hoof beat is all it takes.
Name
They look at me.
All mushed up faces into one.
What is your name? yells a man.
Your ugly says another
But all I see is a young girl.
Hiding under a weeping willow.
Her Mothers grave to the left,
Her Fathers to the right,
Her little brothers under her.
She sits there and cries.
Food is thrown.
She is called unspeakable names.
I walk up.
And she disappears,
I was to late.
She was to young.
I was to young.
