The silvery path of the moon streaked
the endless sky of night and from my painted perch of fifteen hands. I let Bella sip from the cool waters
trickling at her feet. I noted the soft rustling
sounds made by springs lavish dress and wondered what native creature scurried
from by presences. Just then the light
of the moon spotlighted the small rabbit. I barely had time to smile and my
visitor scurried away. Bella and I
walked lightly through the night, even though the Moon rested on my
shoulder. Time had been lost on the
trail; despite a faint alarm rumbling deep within. I laughed out-loud when I
heard my horse’s stomach rumble as well.
“It won’t be long, your oats are waiting.” I softly spoke as
I patted her neck. I could spy the campfire, and even better I could smell the
brewing coffee. The day had led us to the ridge-top and beyond and now my
nights dreams will compel me to search abet further tomorrow.
