Life gallops down the hill-
Death on it's hide-
Buking a saddle-
The wind sweeping life's mane into figurines of mystical creatures-
The terrains change-
Icy and unmanageable-
Muddy and sinking-
Rocky and uneven-
Flowery and low impact-
Grassy and steady-
A flickering View Master-
Life learned to run-
A gate opens-
It's quiet-
The sun and moon glide in unison-
The air is peace-
Life strolls across a pasture

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Nice
Wow, you are a really great writer, I'm really enjoying reading your work.
Beautiful Poem. I used to ride a lot, and I enjoyed this article, it made me feel like I was riding again.
Your evocative description of life's journey as a horse traveling over many terrains well conveys the spirit of life's grace and unpredictability.
