A child
No more than 2 feet
Weaving through tall grasses
Alone
He pulls through further and further
But to no avail
Frightened, cold, frail
And uncertain
Blinded by the weeds
His eyes wet
Cheeks turn pink
In a cumbersome field
Nowhere
Just a boy
Outside, by himself
The skies offer no guidance
The earth heeds no tears
And the moon is, but a bystander
They only leer
A never-ending cycle
Of miring and gawking
He is alone and lost
Only to remain in the shadows
Of the behemoths who choose
To watch
