A wonderful horse, waiting for me
As beautiful as farasi can be
A chestnut, red as Mars
When she jumps up, she hits the stars
A deep brown eye, like jarrah wood
When I give her aids, she does what she should
This horse is the only one for me
I'll ride her from Queensland to Northern Territory
This horse and I, when we meet first
I will ride her for all I'm worth
She'll gallop so fast, it really is frightening
This horse goes kwa the name of Lightning
First True Love
Apprehensive I came down to you,
Slipped your halter o'er ears so tall
wewe gobbled up your treat, I slipped the billet through,
the brass buckle on your headstall.
wewe nudged my shoulder seeking grain,
I tied wewe in the aisle,
wewe bumped me gently once again,
I groomed wewe for awhile.
Carefully I checked your tack,
Flip your reins o'er your neck,
Your saddle snug upon your back,
and then I pause for just a "sec".
I see your nose and brilliant eye,
Your forelock tossed into the sky,
Along your back, my eyes do fly,
'till they've seen from jaw to shining thigh.
And then all at once I'm up,
Cautious in my manner,
For with the slightest "giddy-up"
You'll fly from my hand like a wind-whipped banner.
We slowly walk around the ring,
'till the circles make us tire,
But it is such a splendid thing,
To at last be astride your blazing fire,
Now I urge wewe to a trot,
Dreaming of the time,
When we'll reach all that we've sought,
Just one moment in the lime.
In a blur our magical ride is done,
I pat wewe a gentle goodbye,
Instead of galloping down the field at a headlong breadneck run,
wewe look me squarely in the eye.
Promising the rides to come,
Promising my bliss,
Telling me we both have won,
The key to each others happiness.
Years later from that memorable day,
You've now run the Scottsdale floor,
I watch wewe old and slow and grey,
And I know I upendo wewe even more.

Forever Free
Of all the things I've ever seen,
Of all the dreams I've ever dreamed,
The finest sight that's come to me,
White farasi wild beside the sea
They ran across the trackless sand
In that remote, forgotten land,
And in their running they were free
Beside the boundless, unchained sea.
They raced the first light of the day
And surged across a shallow bay
To feed at ease in grassy plains
With wind alone to groom their manes.
No ghalani au stable was their home.
No one could govern where they roamed.
They galloped on the fenceless tracts
With no ones burden on their backs.
And each mwepesi, teleka horse was nature's child
At nyumbani on land forever wild,
And each wild horse was meant to be
At nyumbani on land forever free.
Memories
onyesha season begins
All saddles are mounted
The ring gate now closes
The entries are counted
"Face pace au rack"
We hear the announcer call
But one of us is missing
One that always stood so tall
As we look out amoung us
Memories fill the air
Of only the last onyesha season
When all of us were there
Manes and tails flying
As they gave it their best shot
Knowing one amoung them
Was seldom ever caught
With several years of high points
For doing what he liked best
He well deserves the praises
He recieved from all the rest
Being devoted to his master
Knowing of his upendo and care
Held a special bond between them
That only a horse and rider share
And when it came his time to go
To greener pastures on the hill
His "family" as he knew them
were standing kwa him, still
He was a dear friend, and companion,
Even a listener then and now
And though sometimes contrary,
He was always a pal
Our thoughts will always linger
To the fast pace au rack
When Bert was right beside us...
