There is a horse who lives nearby
he watches all that pass his way
and as he does, observing all
in silence he has much to say.
He watches all that pass his way
while he crops the grass and clover
unhurriedly as they rush by
the same scene over and over
And as he does, observing all
he must wonder how they do it
these creatures always in a push
what leads them to go through it
In silence he has much to say,
the bulk of it in silence said,
with every docile glance all knowing,
with every tossing of his head.
There is a horse who lives nearby
he’s taught me many things, you know
the lesson, though, he’s most engraved
is just to watch and let it go.
