Maverick

Under the lemon tinted morning sun
out in the fields of freedom
Dances the maverick
effortlessly perfecting her cantor
Running unbridled
without burden on her back
No saddle to seat a rider
Her only reins are her dreams
grazing on the passion inside her
She is free for the moment
and in this moment she runs wild
Wild and unrepaired
You'll never fix what can't be broken

This is beautiful. I came here because I saw you on the top of the pile and noticed you are from Alb? I work in Rio Rat Hole and reside in Bernalillo. Nice to see someone else here from the wild west.
And the name Keely...I have Keeley's in my family.
Anyway. You'll never fix what can't be broken. Awesome line.

when you cage and tame a wild creature, you deprive it of its beauty...and it will turn on you eventually. well penned!

Good read.

Lovely images provoked by this poem Keely. Liked the flow too. The final line was thought provoking as there is a question as to not being able to break such a beast and more importantly why would anyone wish to?

i love the sentiments of this poem. at least from my perspective is of a free spirit, full of innocence and void of any burden or heartache in life. tabula rasa - a blank slate in the emotional sense. if only it could stay this way! very nicely done kelly. thanks for sharing this, jeff

"Dances the maverick"--I say, let her dance for she is not a beast to be broken, but a wild free spirited goddess and you must win her favor...

Too many males in this world have thought that females need to be tamed to be broken---that day is past and the true power of the Divine Feminine is on the rise.

Namaste and Blessed Be

"You'll never fix what can't be broken" - excellent equine metaphor throughout; this last line is perfect. Well done, Keely!
