this horse is running
like it’s never run before
and you got to hold on
hold on for dear life
or let go and see where
where you’ll be thrown
just grab the reins
that’s all it’ll take
just pull back
and the whole thing stops
the whole stands still
and it just breathes
as it steams in the cool
and comes to realize
it can rest from time to time
it can sit and graze
it can sit and watch the days
come slower than before
dripping golden
from horizon to horizon –
a thing that can be enjoyed
and not just feared.
