Oaken Knight

Oaken Knight

A Poem by Cobblestone Traveler
"

You'll be strong for me

"


Approaching the old oak from my younger years


You've grown tall and loom high above my world


I trace the thickened bark with a trembled sigh

And slowly sink to the ground, allowing weakness


Vulnerable and shuddering in energetic transfer

You take me in and your trunk radiates warmth


Channeling my breath throughout your roots

My shell at your base, my soul in your chest


Sustain the power for a bit longer, my friend

I can grow another day; for today I'm yours

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
This is a wonderful piece of writing! The only thing that I would recommend is adding a comma at the end of your first line, to break up the flow a little bit, as both of those lines are quite long, but apart from that, keep up the good work!

I'm awful at reviews, but I enjoyed this too much not to say anything. This piece is very relatable and sweet. "I can grow another day; for today I'm yours" so beautiful. Great poem, I mean it.
