Galloping
to Her Destiny
Hair
streaming out behind
she
holds onto the runaway horse.
Will
she stay mounted
reach
her destination
feel
the golden glow
of
getting there?
Or
will she fall off
be
left by the side of the track
or
be carried elsewhere
by
the whim of another?
A
young woman on her life’s mission
she
grits her teeth
tightens
her hands on the reins
glories
in the wind in her hair.
No
runaway horse is going to come
between
her and her destiny.
