Stunned

She came to me
All nose nuzzle and pant,
No fences to jump
Just a heart thunder
From the dark tree
In the three acre.

Above us
A falcon hovers
Along the greening
Of the thorn hedge
A tail swish away
To the corner
Of the long meadow.

Now she is flown
All mane shake and ripple
Tasting the sweetness
Of freedom,
In the springing dawn.
