Breaking a Horse

2009-03-06T15:24:00.000-08:00

Hooves stutter
Hide flashes
Muscles quiver
Bodies soar
Leather creaks
unwilling to let to let go
Skin glows
as it meets the sun
The breaking process
has begun

Freedom Is

2009-03-06T15:22:00.000-08:00

Freedom is
Our flag flying high
Freedom is
Liberty standing tall
Freedom is
what we fight for
Freedom is
what so many have fallen to protect

To Ride

2009-03-06T15:11:00.000-08:00

To ride
is to feel a freedom unlike any other
To ride
is to feel the wind and imagine that you can fly
To ride
is to form a friendship that withstands any test
To ride
is to find a joy that can never be found in anything else
To ride
is to play with angels sent to us without their wings
To ride
is to find the strength to do things you never thought possible.
To ride
is to find the courage to love something besides yourself
To ride
is to find a side to yourself that you never knew existed
To ride
is to see the beauty of a spirit never truly broken by man
To ride
is to live

Cry Together

2008-11-12T14:01:00.000-08:00

We cry for the ones
who return
We cry for the ones
who are lost to us forever
We cry when they
have to leave
We cry when they
don't come back
But we only cry for
the ones we know
We only cry for
the ones we love
This war isn't just about us
We are not the only
ones who have
lost dear ones
in this fight
We are not the only
ones who have
had loved ones
sacrifice their lives
to keep people they
don't even know free
They have all
paid the ultimate price
though we only grieve
for the ones we knew
We only grieve
for the ones
we loved
The ones who won't
come back
and even the
ones who do
have paid the greatest
and most selfless price
just to help us all
So when we cry
lets cry together
Lets cry for the
ones left behind
Lets cry for all the
brave men
and women who have
paid the greatest price
of all
For they have paid
with their lives
Lets cry and
always pray
That one day
they will all
come home
and that the tears
for the dear ones lost
will finally be able
to go away

Heavenly Father

2008-10-10T18:46:00.000-07:00

Forgive me heavenly father
for i have sinned today
in every single possible way
I got mad
I got sad
And all the while I knew that
what I was doing was wrong
I heard you tell me
to tell you all my problems and worries
but instead I kept them to myself
Though now I am asking you for help
I know that I dont deserve it
but heavenly father I really need your help,
a help that only you can give
I need your love, your guidence, your strenght, and
most of all your unsurpassed patience
Please cleanse my soul
please take away all my hurts and woes
For you are my heavenly father and
I will follow you down which ever road
you tell me I should go

Farewell My Friend

2008-10-10T14:25:00.000-07:00

My friend
It was a sad day in my life
the day your beautiful one ended
We had our good times
and our bad ones too
But in the end you always came through
Your soft velvet nose
and your big brown eyes
always found a way to make me smile
So even though our time together
has come to an end
Your loss will forever be sore
your spot never completly refilled
So farewell my horse
farewell my friend
Know that I have loved you past the end

Horse And Rider

2008-10-09T17:39:00.000-07:00

One mind
One movement
One joy
Two bodys
Two hearts
This is where the horse and rider start

Stand Tall

2008-10-05T17:08:00.000-07:00

Stand up for those unable to do it themselves
Stand up and let your voice be heard, make it loud
Stand up tall and strong likr the mighty oak, let no one move you
Stand up and sacrifice something for someone you love
Satnd up tall and proud, and let everyone know who you are

Rain

2008-10-05T16:49:00.000-07:00

Rain falls silently
washing away the tears that fall freely
I stand like a statue in the dark, silent yard
I stand there for what feels like forever,
but he never comes
My hair is wet so I take out the clip,
allowing the curls to flow like dark streams down my back
My heart aches and I hear it say,
"Can I make it one more day?"
The rain stops then and so do the tears,
the sun comes out and the dark clouds disappear
My heart stops hurting and I hear it say
"Yes I can make it one more day, and he's not going to get in my way."

Love Is Scary

2008-10-05T07:32:00.000-07:00

Love is scary
because it comes unexpectidely
Love is scary
because it can come during the worst of times
Love is scary
because it can happen to anyone
Love is scary
because its eternal and everlasting
Love is scary
because its the most wonderful thing in the world
and we can't explain it
Love is scary
for all these reasons and more

Midnight Run

2008-10-05T06:34:00.000-07:00

The wind howls on a moonless night
the sky is starry and bright
The leaveswhisper, the grass sways
I can hear thunder but there is no rain
I can hear them coming, I know what it is,
I see them now as they come around the bend
Their legs move in blurrs, their manes flow like mist
they kick and they buck enjoying their midnight run
But now they slow because they know
here comes the rising sun
