The guard
is walking the castle wall
the most practiced and skillful
he stands tall
the sky
blue-gray
with neither snow nor rain
the wind
gently guiding
the grass
left and right, left and right
vibing
the sun
isn't shining
as it sets and rises
in hiding
the horizon
remains clear
if a deer,
a rabbit or a butterfly
appeared
if they rushed by
the guard would notice
with his watchful eye
peaceful but prepared
in full armor
hand resting
on the sword hilt
fingers tapping
a sign
of something more
but his gaze
unyielding
focused on his task
of shielding
this castle wall.
