The air felt heavy, tight inside my chest,
A rising storm that would not let me rest.
I stepped outside into the quiet air,
To catch my breath and loose the heavy care.
Beside the fence, a shadow soft and still,
A gentle horse stepped down the grassy hill.
No words were said, no sudden movement made,
Just quiet breath within the gentle shade.
I reached my hand, and touched the velvet nose,
And felt the stillness where the panic grows.
A wave of warmth, a slow and steady peace,
That made the tension in my spirit cease.
And in that quiet space where shadows play,
A lovely vision drifted through the day—
A girl appeared, so beautiful and bright,
A sudden spark of unexpected light.
From heavy chest to warmth upon the skin,
The world turned soft, and calm returned within.
