My name is Heather Mirassou and I come from America’s Oldest Winemaking Family, I have been writing poetry since I was twelve years old. My favorite poet at the time was Leo Buscaglia, who writes about love. I sent him a letter and a few of my poems and he wrote back rewarding me with a signed book of poetry and an inspirational letter. He said I was a NATURAL POET and I should continue writing poetry and learn and practice as much as I could. I will always remember his influence on my writing and my will to follow in his footsteps. The symbolic interpretation of my last name, Mirassou is: > Mirror of the soul >One who reflects within >The watcher of light >A woman who sees truth beneath the surface
Riding Free – by Heather Mirassou

Riding Free – by Heather Mirassou


In the dawn of the world
women were given horses. 
Creatures shaped from storm
and meadow.
Their hooves striking sparks
of freedom.

They rode not with reins,
but with whispers
their souls threading through
the breath of the beast
wildness answering wildness.

Love bloomed between them.
Not possession but devotion
a covenant older than language
sacred as the bond as mother
and child,

When a woman rides,
her spirit unfurls
and the horse becomes her
shadow,
her wings, her eternal
companion.
