Give us just one of those moments
Last night I learned a daisy knot…The horses wear masks to keep the flies off, they can see out but I can’t see in…
We took off his mask as I haltered him, I saw his beautiful brown eyes so deep, so kind…
I’ve seen those eyes before, the look of calm and caring…
As people around us talked, I leaned in and smelled his neck…
My nose filling with what smells like home…
I love touching his soft cheek, his jaw strong and steady…
The soft feel beneath my fingers…
He nuzzles me too…
I smell again, breathing and deep…
Then he nuzzles me again…
Maybe he knows the tender memories it brings me…
We walk together, me leading, but him right beside me…
Sometimes his steps get a head and I slow him…
Maybe he mirrors the way I get ahead of myself…
Maybe this is what rising in love feels like...
I know this is just a moment in time…
That he gives of himself to many others…
But for this moment the love affair is just ours to share.
