feeling watched
I was walking along a pond
When I felt myself being watched
It was not a creepy feeling
But it was absolute.
This was the first time I had been in nature for awhile
Walking around a pond, feeling a soft gentle breeze
Aware of nature, a tree, a violet, a cattail,
Silence enveloped me, I felt cushioned.
So sure I was that I was being watched
I stood perfectly still for a few minutes.
Waiting…..
A small movement caught my eyes.
I turned and watched a tiny brown snake
Slither down the trunk of a cottonwood tree.
I knew then he had been watching me.
