The Irish word for poet is "File". This always fascinates me Because it reminds me of a youthful horse (The filly) Pushing the boundaries And stumbling on awkward legs Being not the most majestic But the one who discovers Joy and passion and vibrancy in every action of life.
When just putting one foot in front of the other(s) is a deed as majestic As galloping Like a knight with surmounting pride Or a night with no end, It's indeed a gift of youth and innocence.
Like the old mare, We may bear wrinkles. Like the war horse, We have our battle scars.
But we are the “File”. And we have something to say.
and we will forever be infinite in our hoof beats and our heart beats.
For every poet out there who felt they weren't good enough. You are.
