Jan 27 ~ Beach
inside of me
lives a mare
a sleek beast
with a need for speed
she yearns
to gallop along Life's beach
race salt-misted wind
intensified with her momentum
i feel her muscles ripple and stretch, as if
they are of my body
they are.
Where did we come from? God? Poseidon?
one in the same, or neither at all
i'm not meant to know
not yet
what i do know is
reigning in my soul-mare
is against all order of my universe
corralling with concern
of what others will think
or fear
learning her top speed
is slower than I imagine
will destroy her
destroy me
and so
though i exist in the world
land-locked
constrained by countless limitations
outside my control
i release my inner mare
she is free to run in the roiling surf
the wind lifting her mane, tossing her tail
and her exhilaration,
her zeal for possibilities,
unfathomable to mere mortals,
i embrace and embody.
I am the Mare.
