Fallen Horse - Giorgio de Chirico
You slipped and fell
We all have too
So please don't think
That it's just you
Time in the ditch
Is a time to learn
To recall what happened
The crash, the burn
But then change your focus
To the task at hand
Of climbing back up
Back onto dry land
Use rocks of faith
And roots of hope
Ask loved ones near
To send down a rope
And once back on top
All safe and sound
Take only a moment
For feeling down
Then lift up your head
Put your shoulders back
Dry your tears
And get back on track
Don't let that derail you
Take pride in your goal
Stay confident, committed
A newly refined soul
Life isn't easy
Together we’ll get through
You know you need us
And we certainly need you!
Galloping Horse - Xu Beihong (1943)
Thank you for your support of Through the Looking Glass and for being a patron of science and the arts.
Best wishes!
