Majestic Stumps
April 15, 2015
The wet dew grass coils around my ankles,
the fog sets over my eyes,
and the grey granite mountains’
mournful song
wafts through the haze,
into my ears.
I sit at the base of the mountain,
gazing at the green-tipped trees
cast over the rock
like a drab curtain,
shielding tears.
What are you hiding?
What was once majestic, towering,
is now a sad stump,
weighed down to Earth
by slumbering sadness,
old soil and
forlorn trees.
