The body burns and drains
at the sites of old wounds,
   a season for shedding...

Eboni arrived in winter
coal black and feral
   jowly tom, manifest Shadow.

Destroy or Embrace?
Measure threat to the Clan.
Cat shrieks at dawn burn fear
   through my waking breaths.
The choice is the Open Heart
a trusting of Spirit, reclamation
   of energies of instinctual life.

Squat on frozen ground,
lie down in hay.
His gold orbs examine me,
he speaks to me now, a new
   level of intimacy.
Shower praises of beauty
upon each retreat.

Embracing his Darkness,
Reclaim my own dirt.
   Surrender to bare bones
Integration unfolds.

More and yet more I disperse
into Nature.
The love is in this summer of waiting.
Eye on the Opening
Symbol walks in, Suffering opens
The Being transformed.
Pressed to the corner, terror
on Horse's back.
"A whole lotta not broke"
   he said, "Surly, not mean"
Breathe through my tears
   dripping down through his mane.
Arab kicks, spins and shudders
Horse's will reads my mind.

Hold your eye on that Opening...
His fullness is present,
Onlookers dissolve into
   sound of his breath
My calf at his side
I fully embrace the grief of
   abandonment...
Loin and spur pressed to haunch
   the cadence begins.

Great neck arches down
He engages the canter.
Symbol walks in bridging
   psyche and viscera,
White light enjoins as our
Spirits are One!

Equus is healer, the Birth worth
   the waiting,
Lay down the moon in the saddle
   of mountains
