Equus Poem by Madison Champagne

Grace
In its true form
Majestic and lively he gallops
Gallantry in every step
For he is Equus

The pound of his hooves
Against the soft ground beneath him
Echoes throughout time

He becomes one with the wind
His mane flows with the breeze around him
Freedom personified

He does not shy away from danger
The beat of his heart guides him
Through the continuing battle
That is captivity

Mankind kidnaps his escence
Hiding it with bit and spur
Clever, but not successful

Agile and strong
He stands his ground
Defending his lost spirit
It will never be broken

He is Equus
