White Horse

A white horse pleaded with his eyes

For me to trust him.

I took courage and sat upon his back.

As he walked, I could not believe

My fear had disappeared.

Delighted and so at ease

As though with a faithful friend

Who would not harm or let me be harmed.

One who would carry me to the ends of the earth.

Being able to believe in him

So majestic and strong,

The essence of gentleness that was his,

The calmness that surrounded him.

All these brought me joy beyond belief.

And I woke from my dream grateful and blessed,

Ready to take on the world.
