The Colt

by The Devotional Voice

Original EveryPoem Studio house-voice poem.

No warhorse. No polished saddle. A young colt carries what the crowd cannot name. Its hooves strike dust, not fear. Its borrowed back bears no weapon. Peace arrives smaller than power expects, and strong enough not to imitate it.
