You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink
Perhaps he may have just nearly drowned
Perhaps he simply isn’t thirsty
Perhaps the trough is tainted
And his sense far
outweighs your judgment
Perhaps he cannot bear to face
The Thought of his own reflection
Sometimes your Down looks Up to me
Sometimes your Up might be my Down
Sometimes the eyes see different realities
We create and interpret
By thought and Heart
But why cling to the things
From far long-gone journeys
So different from paths
Stretched out before thee
The past is the past
Release the old traps
In this changing climate
They’ll no longer feed you
Let your open
Kind Heart
Lead the way
Afterall Water
Always finds its way Home
Stars will Shine
Moon will Rise
And You
I
May Bloom
Anew
Wishing you all a happy Spring! Please enjoy my poem “Spring Melt,” accompanied by a portrait of a gorgeous Icelandic horse by my ever-talented cousin, photographer Andy Holst.
