Horse Inspired Poem

One of our favorite poems for your enjoyment.

Grace

Twilight begins

The embrace of stars.

I attend to the softening edges,

Watch the unassuming beauty of

Horses as they bow their heads

Over sweet, sun-dried grasses.

This is the most peaceful time I know.

Paced by clover-scented, rhythmic chewing,

Content with present abundance

I slow the natural pulse

Of earth and sky

To simple needs-

Warm breath on hand,

Comfortable inimically in serene eyes.

For it is the horse's gift

To connect us with heaven

And our own footsteps.

Each evening

I look forward to this transition,

This precious mystery of

Communion with the still Earth

As I gently slip out of this binding human skin

And dance with child-like grace before the setting sun.

Poem

"The greatest good you can do for another

is not just share your riches,

but reveal to them their own. "
