Break me like a horse

A gentle breaking takes time
Ironically time is what we’ve had the most of
Both time and gentleness breeds trust
A horse and his rider slowly learning to gallop together
The bit is placed in her mouth first,
Leading by example yet steadily steering
The stallion to the pasture of his dreams
I willingly bridle, likened to a mare with trust
Ready to “hit the saddle” of our destiny
The horse is finally ready to lead me….
