Letting Go We Begin


"Send forth your light and your truth;
  let them lead me away,
let them lead me up your holy mountain,
  up to your sanctuary."
                                                                        Psalm 42





At the arenas
the horses are flaring
their spirits
into the rose tinging
evening--

tossing their
manes
of light
through the orbiting
cantering:

see the grace moving in the curves of muscle
sculpting the air
and their eyes so dark 
and lovely-deep;

see how they are beautiful in their going
and their coming round 
and round

 as if, in the rings
of letting go 
we begin
 receiving,
again and again,
like the 
horses' shining
circling
in the late light
before its disappearing;

like our hands 

full of grace
spilling over.
