Halim

      Halim is a very powerful name to me,it is a name of beauty, a name of power.

A horse and It's beauty is something indescribable,something the average person

cannot comprehend. Halim, is in all it's simplicity just a horse, but when you take a

closer look he becomes something more, something mysterious, something fascinating

and indulging. Becoming one with the beast is something that is unlike anything

anyone has ever experienced.

         Imagine a massive being so powerful like lightning piercing the sky. Imagine the

fur, like soft velvet caressing your skin, hugging it like a blanket on a cool fall evening.

Imagine muscle, not like that of a physical education enthusiast, but more like a

perfectly rounded work of art with every chiseled feature just where it should be. Legs

so powerful that when they hit the ground, it's like thunder calling out. Imagine a body

so perfectly sculpted it is as if an architect designed every inch.

         As I prepare to become one with the beast, he glares at me with a teasing eye.

Muscles tighten as I approach much like that of an angered cat when it arches it's back.

I approach carefully as if I were a snake waiting to bite. We glare at

one another for a moment and then I climb on the beast, feeling as though I climbed

Mount Everest. He stands hesitantly awaiting my direction. I ease him on with my leg

as I tremble with excitement. He begins to walk, I feel the freedom. I nudge with my leg

again quivering like a newborn child and so, it begins. We begin to dance in the pasture, making

music everywhere his hoofs touch. Faster we go like an eagle bolting through the sky.

         His Breath quickens, his nostrils flare. Air fills his lungs with every

anticipating breath. Faster and faster into the sun, we glide effortlessly over the

ground. The beast and I are now one with each other, we are whole. Two souls

joined together by the thrill of flying through the earth. His breath slows, his body,

covered with sweat like thick white paint, relaxes. I step down from the incredible ride

we glare at each other once more before he slips away into the trees.

         Magnificent beast is Halim, a beautiful soul with a passion. Just a horse,yes,

but when you become one, he is a supreme being unlike any other. Halim is a thrill,

spirituality, fulfillment, excitement, but in the end just a horse. A work of art unlike any

other, a masterpiece waiting to unveil it's colors to the world, this is, Halim.
