What if I told you

I know the way to freedom

a place close to my heart

since birth.

 

"Take me there?" You'd say,

climbing onto my back,

hanging on as I galloped

to lands beyond - beyond,

 

yet even if I took us

as far as my legs could run

the only way to freedom

is to go within - within.

Your poem spoke to me of the freedom of letting imagination take you places, then you can be free like the wild horses.

Sorry if this wasn't your meaning, but it was how I percieved your poem.

Thank you for sharing.

Jenny.

your interpretation is similar to how I meant it to mean, but saying that I'm not always completely sure, haha. Horses embody a certain free spiritedness that I admire and wish I had more of, but a horse can only inspire me, the rest I have to do myself, so I can be less reined in. Including society as a whole.

More or less what you said Jenny x

I like this poem, it speaks of the coiled spring like energy that lives inside all horses, along with the need to be both loved and led. I particularly love the last line.

Hi D Marie. The (lovely) image you used has been flagged up as, although it's 'royalty free' on Getty Images. You do need to buy a license to use it. It's very confusing! Did you buy a licence? If so, could you please indicate this, and if not, could you please change the image for one which is copyright free. Thanks
