Thursday photo prompt: Still #writephoto

Another glorious photo prompt from Sue Vincent!

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a peaceful and still pond, surrounded by green, with sheep grazing in the field beyond. The sky is blue and the branches of the trees are just beginning to show their leaves…

Dark gnarled branches of the old almond tree

Weighed down by time

Reaching towards the still cool pond

Those who pass here will tell you

It has the same feel as Dozemary pool

Stillness, whispering of time lost.

Love that pulled a kingdom down

Knights running in all directions

Looking for the Holy Grail.

So much lost by betrayal

Plans made by the great wizard broken

Will his like ever be seen again?

Are those dark branches reaching

Waiting for something returning?
