To Higher Pastures

In the still morning
After a soft-voiced rain,
Let me hear the rinsed voices of larks
And, looking up,
See Pegasus in paling star-lanes
And know
That I may grasp the golden reins
To guide him to cloud-high pastures.

Let me stand tall upon a hilltop
And know there are grazing lands
Above the stars.
