Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything,
That's how the light gets in.

I will not jump with common spirits. ~William Shakespeare

Today the sun begins galloping rapidly across the sky, following a higher and higher path each day up until the Summer Solstice.

The days are growing longer now!

Round Hoofed, short joined, fetlocks shag and long.
Broad breast, full eye, small head and nostril wide
High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong
Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttocks, tender hide.
Look, what a horse should have he did not lack
Save a proud rider on so proud a back.
~ Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis

Somewhere... Somewhere in time's Own Space
There must be some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Some Paradise where horses go,
For by the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again.

Gipsy gold does not chink and glitter. It gleams in the sun and neighs in the dark.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all ~Emily Dickinson

When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: He trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes. ~ William Shakespeare

Dawn bounced up in a bright red hat, waved at the world and skipped away. Up staggered the foal, its hooves were jelly-knots of foam. ~unknown

The mare lies down in the grass where the nest of the skylark is hidden. Her eyes drink the delicate horizon moving behind the song. Deep sink the skies, a well of voices. Her sleep is the vessel of Summer.
~ Vernon Watkens (1906-1967), Welsh poet
