Night Falls
January 29, 2019
Tall stood the tree,
Stark against the inky night.
Not many can see.
Hidden by petals lies a sleeping bee
beside the weeping willow --
Tall stood the tree.
Trapped in a silent plea
the flowers cry for sun in a way
not many can see.
Twigs supporting she,
the young faerie naps among leaves.
Tall stood the tree.
In hands, a cup of tea.
The grandmother rests in her cabin that
not many can see.
Behind the garden's lock and key,
back by the still lake,
tall stood the tree
not many can see.
