The Modesty of a Horse


There she stands without a trace of fear

Yet my heart flutters when she trots near

Such a beautiful animal but without knowing how

Possessing a noble power that’ll make anyone bow

I hold my breath as she takes off

But all she does is dash towards her trough

Eating away as I stare

How could this animal not have a care?
