It came to an abrupt halt a few feet ahead
snarling in a rage
sweat pouring from its dark grey skin
where had the creature come
eye to eye we firmly stood our ground
the presence did astound!
The emotion of fear was overwhelming
tendonsĀ and sinews taunt
my way upon the pathway was blocked
daring me to make a move
as though a burning hate at my presence
with this had to show reverence!
Man against this mighty formidable beast
as it rose on hind legs
towering over me in an aggressive manner
a humbling moment
stumbling back in worry of my existence
from me no chance of resistance!
Suddenly as it had begun the confrontation
subsided and became placid
the mighty grey stallion calmly backed away
bowing its head as is with respect
in an instance gone from my suspicious stare
of my vulnerability was aware!
An encounter that would linger within me forever!
