Hooves And Waves Poem by Cameron Burleson

My daughter runs to the tune of a horse,
Gallop the rhythm of her soul.
Rhythm that plays from coastal shores where
Current shapes the shoals.

The beat of hooves is the sound of her blood,
Gives her life a song.
Crashing waves the accompaniment of these untamed chords,
To her music I dance along.

Strengthened like leather on a deep seated saddle,
Armed against the crescendo of life.
Navigating fierce currents with bridle and faith,
Each trial is peace of mind.

In the places where manes and shores play out
Shackelford and Corolla days.
Her thoughts are the stars that show her the way,
By the rhythm of hooves and waves.
