Liberty

Liberty, seven letters, three syllables, yet this word I admire,
A word that people dedicate their lives to, this I desire.
But to me liberty means,
To ride a horse with no constraints as crazy as it seems.
A level of trust that no one can explain,
Galloping through the rough terrain,
Just you and your equine.
Not a thought in your mind, the world is at peace, your life is fine.
No saddle or plastic, no bridle or bit,
You controlling your life as you see fit.
