Hot sun heats my back

Cool water runs into troughs

Horses lap it up.

Sweep through like starlings

Life when loss comes to haunt you

Wings flutter above.

Just now saw your eye

An anchor to what is real

What grounds me in life.

In the form of leaf

Tattered, but still speaks of hope

Life is a circle.

Some of us mother

The world, animals, and birds

Love so deep and wide.

Shrubs sing and vibrate

Parents fly fast in and out

Hungry mouths to feed.

Brings horse out by car

Grooms from her trunk and then gets

On from the bumper.
