Sonnet


In his stable Locked, he longs for those golden fields,
To dry the saddle sweat in the warm air,
Chomping at the bit, my bridle he does yield,
Longs for the summer breeze sifting through his hair,
Has escaped many times I fear he’ll never learn,
Bloody legs, lost breath, and a broken soul,
A dead sprint across the hills no thought of his return,
In my absence he proves, an absence of control,
I have the right mind to put him away for life,
It’s hard for me to see the scars on his legs and side,
His spirit overwhelming it’s hard to bear strife,
I must admit we both enjoy the ride,

I hope to see the countryside where we ride as one,
But how many times can he break before he comes undone?
