Maylin's Gift

Brother, Friend, Lover
by Maylin



Solitary oak
stands sentinel in the field.
Heart of a brother.

Dawn creeps over the
mountains renewing the earth.
Heart of a new friend.

Lightning cracks open
the sky, igniting darkness.
Heart of a lover.

  1. Ok, so Circe told me you'd written something for this and I fainted. After picking myself up off the floor, I think I might faint again. Beautiful and sparse and full of truly lovely metaphors. Thank you!
