The Knot Hole
Limbs that die, sometimes leave a hole,
for birds, squirrels or just a curious soul,
wondering what mystery it might hold.
A little hole caught my attention along the marsh,
was something hiding in the smooth clean bark,
a little touch of white caught my eye in the dark.
A cord, dangling from the limb
above the hole,
tied to something left behind by
some little troll,
a brown painted little bottle
with a white cap.
Who left it there and why is
anyone’s guess.
Slowly I open the bottle, what might
it possess?
It was empty, to my great distress.
Now I could not leave this bottle
be,
remaining there empty inside this
tree,
a little treasure I left for the
next curious as me.
