It is a rush of emotions
we are free from our cages
we have escaped
the feeling of emptiness is gone.
Starvation replaced by that first bite of food.
We understand each other
we can connect as one
like an electric plug in a wall.
My body moves when yours moves
our eyes see such different worlds
but when we are together we see as one.
We are caged in this little arena,
like a goldfish in a fish tank
wandering in circles never being able to break out.
Jumping over the same obstacles
we want to explore the world
the emotions start to take over.
Waiting our turn
happiness fills my body.
Our names are called.
My breath gets shorter and faster.
I can’t focus.
I get anxious .
Not knowing how we will do
We stop,
Connect,
Breathe.
Our adventure begins,
cantering by the judge,
feeling each other’s body,
steering to our first obstacle.
Focus.
I tangle my fingers in your mane
like a fork swirling spaghetti.
Hair swaying in the air,
our eyes alert ahead.
Concentrate.
I see the last jump,
my mind freezes,
we can do this.
Believe.
“come on boy, we can do it.”
We complete the last jump,
we stop ,
the connection is gone.
He is back in his stall
his home, his cage.
I’m back in my room,
my home, my cage.
We are trapped in these place
That emptiness has come back.
