Not the thought of worse
Or a thought of better
Nothing of the sort
But much more simple
Much much more
To act and dam the consequence
Practicing freedom
The wind in my hair
Open pastures splayed out before me
No end
Simply
Steeples hills
Non-trodden paths
And pathless
Open and free
Exercising such
Is it a travesty
Or something far better
Something out there
Real far
And close
Running with the wild horses
And being happy
