"While Once on a Sunny Walk in June" by October Sky

While once on a sunny walk in June I saw a gigantic tree.

At its base I could barely see a shiny figurine.

When I picked it up I could tell that it had seen many a day

So I pocketed my new found gem and continued on my.

I passed a jolly looking man, a little ways down the road

But when I went to wave to him it seemed my gem had showed.

For his face became quite bright with a shimmer of wonder

As if the gem brought him thoughts of thunder.

Because as I passed him the sky lit up with lightning

The shocking sight and bright light was rather frightening.

The figurine now safe in my pocket I could feel it burning

So I took it out and held it as the light continued churning.

The clouds grew dense and the wind picked up it was quite a shock

How suddenly leaves flew from trees in what seemed to be a flock.

I unpocketed the figurine and gave it quite a stare

I thought it rather strange how this hadn’t happened before it was there.

I suddenly took off running

Leaving the creepy figurine behind it was rather cunning.

For I turned around to see if I was being followed

But I was back at the tree which seemed to have been hollowed.

I looked down at the roots below my feet only to have learned

That somehow that little figurine had been returned

With this in mind I turned to walk away

Then I looked up at the sky and saw it wasn’t grey.

The clouds were bright and wispy and the wind was a gentle breeze

Confused was I to see that the odd weather seized.

It was like it never happened as I continued on my way

Could I have really dreamt it all? With confusion my mind began to sway.

I passed a jolly looking man, a little ways down the road

I went to wave at him and my empty pocket showed.

As I waved I looked at him with a look of neighborly glee

I was sure he was looking for the gem but he just waved back at me.
