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….
