Fall Into Love

Leaves rustling beneath my feet as my eyes are captivated by the 
setting of the sun.  Many shades of pink dance upon the earth with 
brilliant light. Emotions of the breathtaking view overwhelm me 
as a smile decorates my face.  My ears are tuned to the rat tat tat
of the woodpecker in a magnificent oak. Immediately I see this 
loud and persistant creature.  Quickly stopping I set my rifle
and rabbits down and remove the thick insulated gloves. Searching the 
duffle bag I locate my old phone at the bottom.  Taking many 
pictures in hopes that I will turn out with a darkening canvas.
I begin to ponder how most things are miniscule in the grand
scheme of life. It's only when moments of loneliness touch our 
hearts that we are truly awaken to the richness of the world.
The quaint little cabin beckons me home.  After replacing
the warm gloves I sling the gun over my shoulder and pick up the 
rabbits.  
Thoughts of returning to the peace, tranquility and warmth of a 
fire fills me with delight.  
Making my way through the thick woods the angry river echoes in the distance. 
Remembering why I chose this Heavenly spot to call home amongst God's creatures and 
breathtaking nature during the deepest darkest time I've known.
Shiloh awaits my return with curiosity as he sniffs 
the sweet scent of the day.  A treat followed by a scratch on the head
for guarding the homestead.  Followed by a delicious dinner 
slipping into an oversized chair I drift off to sleep and lost amongst visions
of hope for a new day.

I love the vivid picture you paint with your words. They bring me into your world completely. This work reminds me of my own poem, Only a Storm (only mine is not quite as good). Thank you for sharing!
