Wild Horses

Can you hear me coming closer?
The sound of hooves, thundering and wild 
Windswept and unbridled, galloping unchecked, mane cascading and flowing behind 
Is it right to try and change how I was created?
Born, never to be captured, never to be trapped and boxed into some religious conformity
To serve tradition, laced up in a tight restraining girdle, hiding the risk of being different
To end my days having only explored a small confined space in my mind 
But was born to worship in a huge creative landscape, born to explore the outer edges of who who I am
Born to journey and not stand still, born to experience danger, holding on only by my finger tips
Born to display colour, black, dappled and chestnut
Every colour of the rainbow following the seasons of my life
Born to be passionate, born to live life, bands of humanity travelling together

It’s time to live again
