Resting Place

 

I watch the horse's serene gaze

as my lens snaps into focus.

The captured image upon review,

reveals my own as well –

reflected in her soft, brown eyes.

And suspended there 

between the fringes

of long, dark lashes ...

I dwell in the depths

of her soulful eyes,

and rest contented.
