To go out and call for horses

To clap your hands in the summer rain
and call

Hearing them come thundering
from far away

Galloping around the shelter,
up to the stable;
three horses into three stalls,
settling smoothly by habit & custom

Nice to be in your own stall!

Rest & hay & water;
time to oneself

To go out and call for horses
is a privilege
for those who walk in the world and exist;
a simple education in contentment
and practical tasks;
a pride without arrogance
