Standing in the Trials
See me.
Standing,
Waiting.
By an old oak tree…
Burned.
Watching,
Biding my time,
Boot tapping a crooked root.
In the last drop of sun
Drips the first drop of moon.
Illuminating light,
Bathes the scene.
Washed in silver.
Cutting down a gnarly rope,
From long ago,
Which waited for a day,
That never came.
