Self Examination

We, like mushrooms of the
Field, develop strong fiber
With the light of dawn
Fortified by hopeful rays
Of the new day’s sun
Staunch enough to endure
The biting of teeth chewing
At its tender stem
Yet too fragile to bear
The weight of night’s awesome
Boot.

Hello, Clentin,
A lovely simile. I can follow it closely all the way until the final intriguing line. What is the weight of night's awesome boot?
Thank you,
