Ghairo Daniels Poet Imagism

White Filly

[ PLACED 3RD : Standard Contest
Sponsor : Crystol Woods ]

Lover on Carmague, separate from the rest
  all gallop free
        I wanted to gallop alone
         to seek sanity in mist with my Heart Song : 

“BEWARE ; FOR I AM FEARLESS, AND THEREFORE POWERFUL.”

            on a Christmas Eve I birthed another
                      then melted into Sunrays 
         he stood alone on psalming plain, neighing

watching my dissolution 
it was up to him to follow 
a path of wild solitude 
fearlessness and power
with black butterflies fluttering 
around a filly’s white mane

from Sunrays he sucked Mother’s amber warmth
a Child of the Wilderness, tottering in a breeze his Healer’s Heart holding secrets of decades to come
Run my Fearless Powerful Filly  Run !

Abdullah Alhemaidy November 7, 2025 at 4:05 AM Interesting & enjoyed read! Thanks God it is Friday :-) Best wishes ~ AA Ghairo Daniels November 7, 2025 at 5:13 AM ThkU for read, Abdullah! Have a beautiful relaxing weekend. About horses ~ I know these white horses on the Carmargue are originally stallions from Arabia. I need to find out how they got from Arabia to Spain. Probably when the Arabs colonised Spain in ancient times. Happy date eating. Hugs.
