A little look into this poem as we slow the world down to share an elegy for Colin, a farrier whose six-week visits shaped more than hooves. 

Jessica’s piece sets a quiet, reflective mood over people that have left this world. Colin the farrier as a steady presence over years, left a deep impression on Jessica’s view of the world. With sensory images of horses, tools and routine craft, small appointments become life-shaping rituals, where grief arrives late, gratitude arriving clear.
The line that anchors the poem: one’s nature is what matters most.
