Girl on a horse

I’ve never seen her so happy

So naturally fitting the scene

Each photograph a testament

To a woman and her dream

 

Observe the girl on horse-back

Warmed by a distant sun

Caressed by gentle waters

Subject and setting are one

 

I remember when I told her

Of the bird upon the bough

That chose to land beside me

I hear that story-telling now

 

Better to live for a moment

With a bird that’s free to fly

Than to hold it in a gilded cage

Denied the freedom of the the sky

Is this another song, PT? If not, it should be. The rhythm and rhymes are so crisp and each verse is like a poem in itself.

Enjoyed.

Morning Bee.  I'll try humming it.  Shame you can't see the photos.  Can't post them, unfortunately.

I see the scene clearly through your words.

...and so do I.  A beautiful poem PT, and extremely lyrical.  

Speaking of girls on horses, I tried horse-riding, once or twice.  Got thrown on both occasions.  The first time, was my first time, and so it turned out, the girls at the riding stables had deliberately given me a 'bucking bronco' as a joke. Some joke.  sad No bones broken, thankfully.  But the second time was at a different stables, obviously, and they hadn't secured the horse's bit properly.  No bones broken, again, but I knew when to call enough, enough.

Much enjoyed your poem.

It's good to know when enough is enough. Glad you were unscathed. Glad you enjoyed this. Tina. Like pulling teeth at the moment. I probably need a break. X
