Sonnet #1

Wobbly Grounds

The mountain grass lay beside me
Its gaze so calm and brief
But over the mountain I could not see
The village’s palpable grief

The winds blew harsh and I asked thee
“Might you be the mountain chief?”
Your stare was harsh, you glared at me
Like an inferno with the devil’s belief

Lightning flashed across the sky
I clutched my knees to my chest
Hoping my fright would pass me by
Still, the terror remained abreast

I’ve ground the mountain chief to dust
Good courage, now myself I trust
