This poem is dedicated to all those who have overcome adversity & climbed higher than humanly possible.
The photo is the sketch of a project I am busy with. Horses are my passion & I might have gotten stuck with this longer than I should for fear of not giving justice to this magnificent animal & the tremendous power exuding from it.
Keep warm! Hope you enjoy the poem. Feedback is always very welcome 🙂
Run run my race horse over the fences, hedges & highest walls, take leaps,
skip over rivers, mane blowing in the winds, undeterred… nothing stopping you.
Run run my stallion,spread the energy, black shining coat glistening under the effort
of raw power. Long gone are your days of uncertainty, battles over frail beginnings.
Run run dark beauty, never be afraid of winning, fly & never turn back, you were a
conqueror at your first faltering steps…
Run run my baby, I will celebrate your victories, as close to my heart,
as bright as the stars, as magical as your existence.
Sleep sleep my foal you’ve earned the miracle of tomorrow!
I have always been fascinated by three powerful forces of nature (among others but those are my favorite) horses, dolphins and the sea but as the second is inaccessible to me unless I go to these infamous shows, I content myself with the two which is why I have come up today with the best of my collection in the hope it’ll speak to you as much as it did to me when I picked up my lens.
It is what I do when trying to convey what words cannot, when they do not suffice…
But the ultimate in my eyes would be to immortalize the same moments with them galloping in the wild.
It is indeed a beautiful & soothing visualization exercise 😉
A important detail:
The photos were taken on the spur of a magical moment, there was no setting of scenery.
Being a horse lover I found myself of late looking at many YouTube videos, on the different paths taken, to keep them as a hobby, train them as a job & have ended up with this one which I immediately connected with & could relate to from the first words pronounced…
It is a precious documentary on a personal journey of self & horse behavior…
On horse language & on how to bring out a maximum from a horse, the gentle way.
It is an hour long but oh so worth it if your interest lies in that direction 🙂
Wishing you a joyful summer!
All my apologies for not being able to like or comment but I need to focus on my family & spend quality time with them during summer time.

There is a quote that says…
Life is a party but you are the one to hang the garlands.
May these photos be the garlands I am hanging on this post
As an ode to nature’s creation and its inhabitants.
P.s There is not much to add besides that I carefully chose each & every photo that spoke in a unique way to my heart as I hope it will do to you 🙂
A few years ago
On my birthday
Was offered to
Me,the privilege
To watch, for the
First time in my
Life a polo
Game that we
Accidentally fell
Upon on a day’s
Out at the beach.
Horses and dolphins
Being my favorites,
I could not resist
The urge to capture
Their grace and beauty
All encapsulated in one
Mass of raw power…
P.s
Having said that, I prefer
Seeing them in their natural
Habitat 🙂

Silencieux
Merveilleux
Dans ce soir mouvant
J’écoute le vent
Héritière
Passagère
De mes jours maudits
Ça je le suis
Mon amour
Je te dis tout
Tu peuples ma vie
À l’infini
Abuse le sort
Frappe à ma porte
Pose une main
Sur mon front
Sur mes seins
Si d’aventure
Je quittais terre
Tu es mon sang
Mon double aimant
Mon ADN
Et sur ton pull
J’y broderais M
Pour que nos sangs
Se mêlent au vent
Mon ADN
Dénudée
Enserrée
Dans ce jeu sanglant
Je dis tout au vent
Aussi calme
Qu’un nuage
Je suis qui pardonne au temps
Aux absents
Mon amour
Je te dis tout
Tu peuples ma vie
À l’infini
Abuse du sort
Frappe à ma porte
Pose une main
Sur mon front
Sur mes seins

Translation in English
——————
silent
wonderful
Moving in tonight
I listen to the wind
heiress
transient
My cursed days
That I am
my love
I tell you everything
You populate my life
To Infinity
Abuse fate
Knocking at my door
Lay a hand
On my forehead
On my breasts
If perchance
I’d left earth
You are my blood
My double magnet
My DNA
And on your sweater
I’d embroider M
So our blood
Mingle with the wind
My DNA
bare
enclosed
In this bloody game
I say all to the wind
as calm
as a cloud
I am who forgives time
the absent
my love
I tell you everything
You populate my life
To Infinity
Abuse of fate
Knocking at my door
Lay a hand
On my forehead
On my breasts

I got this comment from someone I couldn’t trace back (got a blank page) and as I fear it might be a virus I’m copying it here with my answer & hope that won’t do damage as it won’t have the link…

Thank you for posting this song, I love it too! It’s so mesmerising….
If I may, I would translate a few things differently :
“In the moving night” instead of “Moving into the night”
“Transient heiress of my cursed days, that, I am.” instead of “Heiress, transient, my cursed days”
“Abuse fate, knock at my door” instead of “Abuse fate, knocking at my door”
“You are my blood, my loving double, my DNA” instead of “You are my blood, my double magnet, my DNA”.
“Aimant” mean “loving” as well as “magnet”, I think in this song it means loving.
I don’t mean to be rude, I hope you don’t mind.

I appreciate the corrections. I had thought the translation to be professional as it was on a specific site & didn’t bother to check. I took a huge risk approving your comment as I could not connect to your site & just got a blank page so I hope you’re not a virus message…
Let me know how to check your site, just to be on the safe side
