painting by Shelley Ann Walker-Fooks...
Oh Father God, may you, embodied now
within this being, who gives you full reign
to partner as a horse and man somehow
can partner so to move as man might deign
to call on horse, yet let said horse do all
it can do well. The details horse still does,
yet horsemanship deploys this call
on man to know the horse, not make a fuss
about desires - to do, or where to go.
The biggest celebration is when two
would give up isolation, truly know
what other wants (and can bend will to do).
And as a team move into territ’ry
denied before, or just not tried so far.
This brings delight to both the man & steed,
a partnership, more than driving a car.
I want to work and play like this with you.
I’d love to learn to push your buttons true-
ly such that you feel glad of what I do,
not just that you can put up with me too.
But how to move up to this level now?
I've hardly got ideas that could work.
Oh God your wisdom’s needed here somehow,
especially when a part of me would shirk
and wants to run away, not be renewed.
Your spirit, God, is so essential here
and now I need your help with skin and too
de core - of bones and muscles. Draw me near..
