Affliction of my nature

I sit and watch in wonder as the night stalks you. Unknowingly, you continue with your duties. As you sway back and forth, all I feel is fear. The fear for what is about to come and lay you waste. You still loiter around in your akward, but relaxed way. The leaves jostle against your warm exterior. Then, as quickly as it came, it is gone. Out of your plight comes something else. Amity. There is peace between you and the darkness. The darkness that use to wade your liquidation. So, you I feel the need to foster. I want to watch and care for you. I understand now, that which I must do. Because If not for me... Then who?
