The Oak & the Knight

----------------------------------

a field of green,
an ironed chest,
the tree there left to guard,

through seven seas,
through acres
fields,
thou shallow steps to march,

the stain is dry ,
a walk behind,
to whom is yet to yield,

the tree may guard,
but may he guard,
what he was not to see.


a weight thats worth,
the wisest words,
the iron clad may fall,

at wielders touch,
it would not move,
off strength was left no more,

an oaken limb,
a guiding strand,
what cowers underneath,

though couldn't give,
and couldn't take,
the armor it could pierce.
