Back in the saddle April 28, 2024

  

She sounds

As giddy as a kid

With a new toy

Riding high

 In a saddle

 On a beast

Too tall,

And too slow,

But she doesn’t care,

After having given up

What she had,

She’s grateful to have

Anything of

Her old life back,

These hours

She records

As much a therapy

As it is a hobby

Her instructor

Going through

The routine

As she rides

A breathless adventure

As magnificent

As the charge

Of the Light Brigade,

One plodding

Horse step

At a time,

Putting her back

In the saddle again,

Letting her live

The dream

She left behind,

One as good,

She and steed

Engaged in

A slow motion dance
