Through the Eyes

She runs through life,

through thickets

and under bushes.

She runs away from the fox,

a rabbit,

on she pushes.

With brown tufts of fur

there is no way to hide

in the white, fluffy snow.

The creature has been cornered.

Ruby red splatter.

There she goes.

His stomach rumbles.

He sprints through the forest

on a chase.

A little brown hare.

Unlucky, unblended.

I’ll catch her and be the ace.

Her heart goes pitter patter.

Running further and further,

juking me out.

Are you a sheep

or a wolf?

That’s what life is about.

I watch comfortably from my perch,

as an orange blur

chases a brown speck.

Desperate to get away

the chocolate smudge

Runs under the deck.

A rabbit.

A sweet little bunny.

A beast of a fox not too far behind.

I watch as it’s cornered

and killed.

Why is the world so unkind.

The snow crunches under my feet.

Birdsong breaking the silence

as a bluejay sits upon a branch.

A fox chases a rabbit

only a dozen or so feet away.

I hope it has a chance.

I continue on the path

I have chosen,

not looking back.

I’m trying to go for

the things I lack.
