Contest is closed, by my imagination isn’t!
Grab the whispering whisp
Of a whip
Seemingly just beyond reach
Fondle, cuddle, kiss, coax
Ride and soar, soar, soar

A mind running freely without limitation and constraint can feel wild and uncertain
Yet, liberation is a strong and stable mind, embodied within a smiling human heart
Windhorse ever-present, we humans soar with a mind of kindness and wisdom

Breathe in freshness now
Meditate with gentle heart
Feel, be, touch….insight

I saw you galloping in the field with Gesar.
Wait for me I cry, I am so far behind.
Hearing my cry you swiftly came to me.
Taking me by my armor you flung me to the heavens.
You gave me open sky, stillness, and breath of love.

Oh Windhorse there you are!
Capturing the moment of inspiration,
Your bid to enter my Mind,
Descending down to your home,
You reveal to me my Heart.

Wind blows through me,
At the edge, looking over the ocean.
Emotion shines through me,
At the edge, looking back at resistance.
What is windhorse? What is not?

Is this natural harmony?
Is this pointing out the way?
Immutable colors wash over the senses
Parasthesia of the limbs of Vipasnaya
Trembling of the ground underfoot
Refraction of sunbeam through the dust
Windhorse across the high plains.

Look! white birds she said
Oceans of love we feed
More Chickadees were bred
And early spring, instead!
