SPRING FILLY

Spirited spring filly,
  flicking your head
  sniffing the warm
    newness of the breeze
What a beauty
  you are
  running free
    over the fresh
    green earth
Don't you know
  to be of use
  to your master
    you must be broken?

—Nancy Spiegelberg

"I delight to do Thy will, O my God; 
Thy Law is within my heart."
