19.3.11

Time frozen
Standing still
Moment chosen
Morning chill

Presence lacked
Frost destroyed
Earth cracked
Formless void

Happiness missing
Hope deferred
Drawn-out wishing
Something heard

Beauty seen
Shadow betrayed
Sprouting green
Foundation made

Mane glimpsed
Closer now
Enemy's bane
Lion's how

Another step
Not alone
Given prep
Beloved stone

Discovered trail
Patures green
Forbidden gale
Goal seen

The rhymes were interesting and powerful. I enjoyed the journey of this story. I will wait for the Lion with you.

I'm not a poet, but I felt like trying. I wrote a few other things that night, too. I wrote them all at the same time. I would have ideas for one then more of a different one would come to mind. It was fun.
