SHUKR
Untamed horses
Running wild
Lower their heads
In a cool stream
Take a deep drink
The source of life
Coursing through their veins
Lift their heads
Primal instinct
This show of gratitude
This unspoken praise
Across centuries
Leaves me in awe
speechless.

SHUKR - GRATITUDE
SHUKR
Untamed horses
Running wild
Lower their heads
In a cool stream
Take a deep drink
The source of life
Coursing through their veins
Lift their heads
Primal instinct
This show of gratitude
This unspoken praise
Across centuries
Leaves me in awe
speechless.
