To Ride a Horse is to Ride the Sky

 

To ride a horse is to ride the sky ~

One must look into its eye,

Run one hand along its mane,

And with a steady hand to reign,

Mount with grace and balanced ply~

To ride a horse is to ride the sky.

 

To ride a horse is to ride the sky,

To call down the stars of the pegasi.

Upon noble wings, and as heroes, we fly

To the grandest escapades of you and of I...

To reclaim the union of a time gone by ~

To ride a horse is to ride the sky.

To ride a horse is to ride the sky,

To bolt across fields of emerald rye,

Upon drumming hooves of equine might,

in a charge of luck and unbridled flight...

All in the blink of a yearling's eye ~

To ride a horse is to ride the sky.

To ride a horse is to ride the sky,

Through misty weald, through desert dry;

The undulant dance of rider and steed,

When both their souls are concurrently freed,

Is a sight as wondrous as none can deny ~

To ride a horse is to ride the sky.

To ride a horse is to ride the sky,

Be it as red as dusk in July,

As golden as the sun on an aureate morning

As white as blizzard that comes without warning

As black as the night with no stars to steer by...

To ride a horse is to ride the sky.
