For Whom we parade – We ponder –
At – the Flick of Whose whip –
Prancing – Strutting – Trotting – Buckling –
Or taking just the Leap –

Yet Living on is – no Manege –
No Rider – at the Door –
Whether We’re Stable – or – Stumble –
In Quizzical decor –

Pastures future – we are Promised –
Of grazing unshackled –
But I’d rather – bound – with You – Now –
And Forgo All – Foretold –
