Paniolo’s Dream

In the stillness of the dawn,
Where earth meets sky in gentle song,
A Paniolo dreams—a Hawaiian cowboy’s grace,
With horses that move at a patient pace.

Equine whispers, soft and clear,
A bond of healing, free of fear.
The horse, with eyes so deep, so wise,
Kisses the heart, and it replies.

With every touch, with every stride,
The heart learns to open wide,
A silent language, known by few—
The horse knows the way to make us new.

In the warmth of that shared space,
Healing begins, a slow embrace,
The horse, the rider, and the land,
Together, strong, as heartbeats stand.

For in each soul, a rainbow grows,
A spectrum of skin, a dance of flows—
All colors welcome, all hearts revered,
In the circle of love, we are all healed.

Medicine of the spirit, pure and true,
A gift from the earth, for me, for you.
In the Paniolo’s dream, we find our way,
A path of peace, where hearts can stay.

So look at the horse, and you will see,
The truth of healing, wild and free—
It goes straight to your heart,
Where all the world’s colors never part.
