Grace a hard filly to ride

Emotion perspective

Grace is so hard to ride,
the moment the airy light,
sun beams raking their fingers gently through the forests hair,
fire fly's or dust float, speckle,
When emotion comes, a thousand pounds of fear, wild eyed, sparks on the pavement,
Million Dollar Horse,Flight or Fight ?
no room for second choices,
Be the better ,
Don't get run over.
Blind Emotion can not see.
Blind it runs into its mental map of home.
Burning the Barn beams smoke,timbers crash.
Circling the wagons on she comes screaming fury,
Barron broodmare muscle, coke red eyes,throwing tufts of turf, our lives..
Precious parts of heart with every pounding hoof..
Littered bumps atop the pasture,
Alone with the piles of vegetable matter.

Author's Note

The weight of several poets here are making me,me.

Yes! Yes! Ride the filly that seems impossible to "break", reach beyond our limits, don't get run over,.... but believe in your potential.......as the power with grace of this magnificent animal charges on with one on its back, along for the ride, but willing to make the journey. We may be thrown off, made stronger because of it, but we will have met the challenge!! And all the garbage and spent off emotion is left behind!
Wonderful, filled with metaphors, and wisdom!!

That time of year ,reconciliation the weight is just not worth it.

Emotion. Color with texture, viscosity. Sometimes its sheen is thin and sometimes it piles deeper, heavy. This poem sings of it. Emotion alone doesn't stick. On its own it can't make it to paper. Its a wail or uncontrolled laughter or the like. It takes a mind to capture emotion. That's the work of a poet. You are a very good poet.

What a ride!
A fist full of mane and knees pegged in,.. let her buck!
