Softened Stones

Slotted rocks allotted in a stacked wall of stone
Greeted me gray as smoke, carved statue honed
Halted my walk among sun snuck tall trunk home
Flatly reminded my psyche I'd arrived here alone 

For beyond its forbode, forest sprouts unknown
Told to me only in rubbed limbs creaked moans

To quenching's quest, searched soul seeds sown
Willing to merge with alternate ways, I will atone
With whatever whirled leaf torn trauma is thrown
Where woods go, be guided by my bravery shown

Hammered heart tells me climbing sparks danger
Safety belt suffocated, thus love stayed a stranger
Signals from scintillated stems, summons known 
Spurs me toward side greener, a renegade ranger

Hey that’s smooth, silky smooth Sigrid, I can see that wall, where only the bold endeavor beyond, third verse could match anything in O captain my captain, Your on a roll, fantastic piece of literature cheers David.
