Stuck (Notevember 2021, #12)

You wrestled a tiger
You painted your soul
You spoke to the river
Who swallowed you whole
You waited forever
And then one more day
You did all the things I told you to do to stay

I shifted the mountain
Went uphill both ways
I learned from the mantis
The reason she prays
You brought me dracaena
May it bring me luck
Now it sprouted roots and I did it too, I’m stuck

You took me out fishing
For stars in a pond
A penny for wishing
A hair for a bond
We held on for dear life
We held on for less
And now you can ask, and now I can answer yes
