The Sapienti Tree

the story of a boy named Clay,
a boy who walked to school one day.

I remember the walk to school that day.

I must have seen it from miles away.

It was just a faint light
when I saw it for the first time,

and I remember,
the rain was so cold,
it sent chills down my spine.

I remember hearing thunder countless times that night,

yet I don’t recall seeing
even one single strike.

All I could see was that faint light...
in the distance, obscure, yet somehow bright.
