People and Horses
are like people and people
You can bemoan the fate of kept horses
racing horses
as our own
We are the same
Try this
Look
but don't see a horse
see a person there instead
Now look elsewhere
and see the same thing
worse even
unimaginably worse
You can bemoan the fate of racing horses
It would be like bemoaning the rain cloud
or the snatched bird
fish
cat
rat
The horse
like the dog and cat
bugs, birds and others
plants, microbes (do think I'm mad)
speaks to the human heart
The connection between horses and humans
creatures with heart
is wondrous
wonderful
mysterious
heartfelt
Horses race
People race
People race horses
for me there is heart
the feeling heart
the listening heart
the seeing heart
the speaking heart
the writing heart
the connected heart
I have learned many things
discovered even more mysteries
wonderings about eloquent truths hiding in plain sight
I cry for all kinds of reasons
a dead bird
a horse in a stable
life lost to circumstance
dreams coming true
the heart that runs like California Chrome
