Running, long strides, up and over this jump A canter full of rhythm, without a care Rounding corners, my beating heart drums In my chest, as full of grace, flying through the air Leapt up over, back down to the ground, hooves flying to get a grip Back on the land and keep up in stride, canters out and away Coming closer to the next obstacle, higher than before, without a slip Stride by stride, getting closer, as we fly into the sky, proud display Throws her head up, people watching, gasp, horse and rider, simultaneous release Of power fire, within, working together every move, thunder up to the canter poles Through they go, looking ahead for the next jump, full of dreams, hope, and peace Vertical jump, coming up, wind whispers past our ears, as underneath me ground rolls Sways, I barely need to speak, a beginning of a thought, command Faster, into a breathtaking gait, beautiful to watch full of flame Not even scary, up to our jump we come, a faster pace, it demands Ears flicker back, listening, I tap her with my legs, whirlwind, spry young as a filly, she becomes goes faster, sweet momentum, motion our jump suddenly right before us, hoofs pounding, ground shaking we race up to it, a stride; we are off, soaring, pride, full of emotion filling me, we come down in canter, moving into gallop, records making we slow for our turn, up the diagonal, back into a spectacular pace come by the gate, rising up just above the saddle, ready to climb the air, heights step by step, stride-by-stride, perfect timing, just the right place take to the air, moving together, hands move along her neck, looking ahead, eyes to where we began, to where we can’t stop, so natural it’s a dance Slowing down, calm, sitting tall, speed decreases, a different gait floating away, up to the highest jump, we will have just one chance to get it right, lined up to the jump, floating on air, cantering up, we wait for the perfect moment, so its just right, in perfect symmetry rising up , above below, just as one, I stand up high, hands move up, tension past in this time, this perfect second, not horse and rider, just we working together, in slow motion, just enough speed, to get up, a moment to last single second, we are up and above, this high jump, we made it, landing down two feet, than four, as we ride off, coming to a halt in front of a standard standing on ground exhausted, worn out, we in slow, walk our day is over, won’t know how we had managed until later, when I can think, just know up that last jump, felt so right now I know what it feels like, it was our stage We performed, I truly felt it, unbelievable, I was apart, and was able to FLY. |
