Old Oak (18-098Z)
Fragileness in
motion
Each movement
calculated
Aware of handholds
Balance unstable
Once rock steady
No longer rooted
Now ankles sway
Easily uprooted
Begrudgingly submit
Walker steadies
What once came easy
Now exhausting
Thin dry skin
Humbly accepts help
Help humbly given
Navigate new roles
Rub lotion on
Seasoned bark
An old oak
No longer bends
