A Priestess approached me

February 20
A Priestess approached me because she
saw me tilling the land.
She closed her mouth and said,
Something must be done.
Because the beast is stirring.
Because the Visitors have returned.
Because time is growing short.
A Priestess approached me
and gave me a seed.
I planted the seed,
and watered it with everyone's tears
but my own.
From the seed grew two trees:
a black and a white.
The People asked which tree would win.
Grandmother said: the one you feed.
My Father said: the white one.
And me?
I just smiled,
and kept sharpening my axe.

The Hidden Mercy

The wall creeps back in the night, She loved the wilderness. She lived the wilderness. The actions of the many have guided us. ...
