Leigh P.

Perfect Place

The sweet scent of horses
Maybe not to everyone

The silent sound
Of horses moving
Breathing

Fresh wood shavings
Soft under my feet

Thick fur
Under my hands
Running my
Fingers through

Hard yet soft
Leather saddles

On top of a gentle beast
I feel
Like the tallest
Person in the world
