To Be One With
The hardwoods cry in color this time of year
As the sun sets an owls call from within the deep hollow can be heard clear
There is no path to follow, not one less traveled by, no direction to steer
Only dense undergrowth that provides shelter for the sly
The sly fox whose yellow eyes scan the forest floor waiting for the passer by
Leaves rattle as the wind arrives
The squirrels tucker away in their nests for the night and bid their goodbye
