| ~Mustangs~... The Evolution |
| ~ Mustangs the Evolution ~ Mustangs, Wild horses running free, has long been a source of inspiration. An enchanting love affair within the hearts of man, with both domestic and the wild horses that to this day, still run free. A love, that can be traced back to the beginnings of time. Mythical magical horses, domestic horses and Mustangs, the wild ones. They capture our hearts, they capture,..our souls. They give what no other creature living or myth, can give. They give us hope, love, strength, courage, dreams, inspirations and they give, our hearts wings. Loved, sought after, for generations upon generations, they entrance on painted canvas, race the wind in the written word , and they dance, in our "Dreams" They live in our hearts, both night and day. Horses have a magical effect on the human heart. But the Wild Ones, Mustangs, Take it a step further. In the World of Art and Literature, there exists fact, or fiction, and or, in some cases a blend of both. What we view in the end as the finished result is, in some small way a reflection of the person that produces the piece. Their perception, and expression of a small portion of life that has touched them deeply. A part of life that had awakened from the depths of their spirit after becoming inspired by a feeling, a vision, a sound, or a word and took on life of it's own. Inspirations can come from many places, most times out of the blue from the most unexpected of sources, and most always at the most unexpected of times. Mustangs have such a life. Living legends of our pasts. Our legacy. A life of their own, Life in our Dreams, and an always evolving life that is carried to new heights by the inspirations they give. Mustangs The Evolution ~ A True Story about such Inspirations. Spirits Pure is the 3rd poem in the Evolution series. A collaboration between author D. Enise and Cowgirl Poet Debra Coppinger Hill.

"Mustangs is so vivid, full of imagery that you are no longer "reading", your living the life of the little girl who is there watching the horses..

From my safe place in hiding, up on the ridge, strange, whispered callings told me to go. At the edge, the whole valley, stretched out below me; I watched, enchanted...my blood raced with the wind. My breath became theirs as they dashed into sight; Wild Hearts and hoof-beats charged around the bend. I could smell the sweat as it ran off their bodies, sun glistening on muscle as they ran towards the sun; Knew without words their message and meaning, they were Freedom, Truth and Love on the run. The earth rose to meet me as they ran at full power, their hooves sent dirt sailing, in clouds towards the sky; My heart pounded wildly in time with their thunder; it filled me with joy...for with them, I could fly! I still feel all around me, the wondrous splendor, that took my breath as they came into sight. The vision I witnessed, that day in the valley, is the dream that I dream as I drift off each night. Forever engraved on my heart and my memory; Spirits so pure they were one with the earth; They set me free in those magical moments, their strength became mine in a glorious rebirth. They say to touch Heaven, your soul must go higher, to streets that are paved with gold and with pearls; But for me, it’s a ridge, high above an endless valley, being one with the horses, at the top of the world. © 2003 Jen D.Enise / Debra Coppinger Hill All Rights Reserved.
