~ Hoof Beats on Pine Needles ~

muffled hoof beats
carpet of pine
glimpses of blue
through a dark canopy
dusk

crash in the underbrush
a doe stands in the path
startled
my mare stops
softly blowing
widened eyes

each crouched
ready to spring
a silent exchange
hearts thumping

one  bridled
one  free
the moment passes
we both continue
on our way.
