In this stark white world
I come to greet you
through fallen snow
that drifts to change the land I know
up hills
and across a frozen sea
you meet me there.
You see me bundled to the brim and wonder
what a girl is doing out here without a proper coat.
So you come closer
so I can bury my face in yours, thick and full
grown long to keep the cold at bay.
I breathe in the dust and sun and sweat–
the pieces of summer you’ve kept in your skin.
No, I have no coat like this.
Your mane is the wind,
your feet the dirt we miss.
Your breath the sweet green grass,
nose still the warmest touch…
your ears the slightest noise
easy boys…
I’m the only sound you hear
now look me in the eyes
so I can see the life we lived…
before the winter white set in
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... 
So very beautiful. I loved this!
Simply …. beautiful!
I call them bushy babies. They are beautiful animals who snuffle and nuzzle when we come near. That buckskin is especially pretty.
This is a stunningly beautiful post! I love it!

They are, they are. It amazes me how they prepare for the change in seasons…I am missing riding so much right now. I think I might have to save my money for an indoor arena 🙂
