Fallow 39

The sun is rising

The clouds telling a story

Of sky divided

What is the verdict?

You deliberate all day

But endgame soon comes

This night spent sleepless

But not passed without a dream

Of loss overcome

These themes reinforced

Dragons imaged by others

Resolve a glove fit

Work started early

In hopes that I might catch up

And cast off worry

Of these gears tightened

Of hands bluffed well past their worth

Of this bitter norm

Of midnights sleeping

An hour all for my love

Many more to come

For portals fashioned

In part before it's made whole

But wholly in mind
