a Horse Story

 

 

Horse Medicine Wheel

South Dakota

far from the crossroads

of New Mexico

what a breathe of fresh air

to be out in the middle

of no where

surrounded by Mustangs

running like freedom

alot of folks ask

what does a Dark Bird

like myself do

when the flea market closes in the winter

the answer is simple

i spend alot of time

driving Kat around

looking for wild horses

not a bad job

if you can

get it

Patience

time

lots of nothing

& perhaps

a touch of

boredom

what a strange departure

from our world of

constant connectivity

frequent likes

exciting shares

& instant messanging

of gawd only knows

what

 

 

 

Good Horse Sense

photo by Kat Livengood

 

when your outdoors

with animals like this

you know horses

make you healthy

and you can feel your mind

clearing of the modern fuzz

the wires starting to disolve

until after a few days

you feel like

its you again

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheyenne Stampede

These horses run

near the Cheyenne River

in the homeland of the Sioux

and to this day there are still

Sundance rituals

performed just up on the hill

behind those galloping mustangs

i like to think of this

sometimes when

i get stuck in traffic

 

 

Wild Horses

new painting by Kelly Moore

 

as a friend

once told me

when you walk up a mountain

eat a bit of it

so you can bring back

some of its wisdom

to the world

and hopefully

we can return

with a bit of the horse sense

from South Dakota

to keep us focused

on our path

to bring art to the world
