Mare zoo

Biolab 06 - Pony Girl!
Cora and Bill - The Saga Begins
Songs of Love 2/8 - Fields of Joy
(written and recited by Cora)
---

Small hands gently teach a young mare
How to find freedom
As he unlatches a gate
And points to a new, 
Unexplored world.

He walks though the gate.

Legs awkward.
Head high.
Eyes searching and filled with wonder
She slowly follows the boy into this strange,
But enticing new world.

He's running away!

Startled into motion
She stumbles forward.
Then nature takes over
And her legs begin to move
To an inner rhythm
That fills her ears with thunder.

He laughs to see her joy.

Inner awareness
And his laughter
Is suddenly shared
By a new voice.

She runs.
She prances.

They laugh together 
As he awkwardly imitates her prancing.

Young eyes meet
And a new awkwardness takes place
As two children begin to teach each other
Their places in life.

"She's so beautiful..."  I heard my mother's chuckle and blushed.  I looked
up.  "You are too, Lightfoot."


I went back to watching Cora sleep.  I reached out, then hastily brought my
hand back.  Mom and Lightfoot laughed.  Their laughter woke Cora and she
jerked her head around nervously.  I didn't hesitate this time.  "Cora.  It's
ok.  Nobody is going to hurt you."  I let her see my hand while I slowly
reached to stroke her.   I felt the nervous ripples beneath her skin slow.

"So beautiful..."

"Bill."  I felt Lightfoot's head nudge me.  "Give Cora some room so she can
get up.  Then you can show her how to work the latch and go outside with
her."

I was stunned.  Me?  Take Cora outside for the first time?  I looked at my
mother, then Lightfoot.  "Really?"

They nodded.  I scrambled to my feet and got out of the way.  Cora flailed
around and somehow, suddenly, she was standing on her thin legs.  Lightfoot
nickered and shoved her gently in my direction.

Cora wobbled, moved a few steps and then froze uncertainly.  Lightfoot nudged
again.  "Go.  Bill, stay with her."

I gulped.  "OK."  I decided to be brave and walked over until I could wrap an
arm around Cora's neck.  "Come on.  I'll be with you."  I held on and moved
forward slightly.  I felt her shivering hesitation and then she stepped
forward so suddenly she was dragging me for a few steps.

My mother must have seen my reaction because I heard "Bill!  You do and
you'll regret it!"

I lost my anger and embarrassment.  "Yes, Mother."

"That's better."

I sighed.   "Come on, Cora.  Let's go outside."

We got to the doorway and I hugged her.  "Look."  I pulled her head to one
side and touched the latch.  "All you have to do is push up."  I pushed the
latch up and let it drop.  "You can go outside anytime you want."  

She looked at me and then stared through the doorway.  I sighed.  "Never
mind, Cora.  Let's go!"  I opened the gate and started walking away.  She
nickered forlornly and just stood there.  I stopped, looked at her and
sighed.  "Come on.  It's ok.  Really.  Look..."  I picked some grass and
offered it to her.  I let her nibble and then backed away.  She followed a
couple of steps and froze again.

"Oh, come on!"  I ran off, not really caring if she'd follow me or not. "It's
too nice to be standing around!"

I heard footsteps behind me.  The rhythm was uncertain at first and when I
stopped to watch I couldn't believe what I was seeing.  Cora was trying to
run but her legs weren't working right.  I started to laugh but instead my
jaw dropped in surprise when all of a sudden she thundered past me.

She made long sweeping circles and sometimes she'd run past me so close I
could feel the wind of her passage.

I was terrified.  Thrilled.

Awed.

Cora had been beautiful.

Now, she was magnificent.
