The Language of Horses
Horses speak with humans
In a way that reveals us to ourselves.
Strong & noble, humble yet proud,
Their judgement holds a weight that we continually seek out.
When you walk into the round pen
Hang your words up at the gate.
No explanations or excuses can help you,
A different language is uttered here.
When she runs from you, she has spoken.
Did you hear her?
Is your ego dismantled enough to see her judgements in action,
Rippling through her body, shining through her eyes?
Your words can't bring her back to you
But a truth deeper than words can express will.
Take a breath and she turns, she has heard something.
You may not even know that you have spoken.
Because horses reflect the truth of who you are
and it is beyond the words you wrap yourself in.
