Radiance By Michael Diebold, Louisville, KY


In the silence of the Sunday morning My three horses walk in line with quiet dignity down from the pasture to their shed, finished grazing till the sun passes its zenith.


They are content with grass and clover and the waters of the lake.


She leads them as always. They move with grace and gratitude before the August sun begins to sap their zest to wait in the cool of their shaded shed.

She will bring them out to graze When the heat of day is done with baking.


They walk to rhythms of the sun and moon, undisturbed by artifice of clock or human deadlines which govern my living here in their fields.


I keep a different beat, a hurried pace which I do not impose upon them Since I have arrived, just after Derby.


Regal and splendid in their bearing They are happy in this green Kentucky summer.
