To Be Free

2nd in the 'Calling All Poets for the Poetry Competition of 2003' competition

The foal blinks, not sure what to make of this strange world,
Cautiously, he gets up, and the world explodes into brilliant colour!
He staggers, unsure of his footing then suddenly

HE RUNS!

My mind races across mountains and fields,
I become him/we and we run together, wild and free!

We gallop and prance among the wild flowers,
We run, dodging trees – so many!
We can feel the sun on our back,
Warming our thoughts,
Exciting us with its brightness,

Then we jump a fallen log and for one moment fly!
Oh…the feeling!
We can do anything!

The air whips around us, making our tail play in the wind.
And as we play in the light breeze our heart is filled with the joy of life!
