Softly

She wanders through distant memories like a familiar landscape she hasn't seen in years.

Trying to find that hope she didn't think she needed anymore.

That distant star that promised the goodness of things to come.

Softly she proceeds, knowing its where she must go.

Free

I wish I were free

Free to run with wild horses

Free to sit on a mountain and watch the sun set

Free to watch the moon rise up to the stars

Free to breathe in the scent of the pines

Free to dip my feet in a cold mountain stream.

Sometimes I wish I were free

Free to be just me

#I'm With The Band

May all the wild horses that roam the beautiful interior west of the United States of America be allowed to live their lives from beginning to end in the vast expanse they call home. Please stand with me and shout out #Imwiththeband! 

The above horses were found in the Egan Range west of Cherry Creek in the Great Basin of Nevada. These were WILD compared to the horses below who are used to human interaction.

The above horse are from McCullough Peaks outside of Cody, WY. These are some of the lucky ones. They are closely monitored and have benefitted from a contraceptive program that helps regulate their growth.

Please speak out and help save our wild horses once again.

All I have to say is, #Imwiththeband!
