NeverYet

It’s sadness I think 
This cramp I’m feeling 
Not due to loss
But having never yet 
I’ve stumbled into sludge 
And my pace slowed
I won’t make it 
There by night fall
But rather shelter here 
Beneath the arms of 
Some leafy green trees 
Strangers at first but 
As the last bit
Of sun melts and 
The darkness surrounds me 
It’s best that I 
Call this place home
