On Track

The Fox turned and looked at me
And skulked away sheepishly
Through the woods I walked
All quiet as breezes stalked

Branch to branch birds play
For my ears they sing the day
Amidst the trees in golden bands
The sun it beats, my heart it lands

Butterflies, Midges, flight my eye
Above the canopy bright blue sky
Flowers stretch their necks for rain
Evenings fall and dew will gain

Quiet times these sentient hours
At total peace in natures powers
Of perfect pace and harmony
I place my feet in empathy

Wiley Fox has just come back
One last glance down the track
Inquisitive eye asks who are you
I smile and walk, just as you do

It's great the way you made eye contact and then both just went along your way, just as nature intended. A friend had a similar encounter with a wolf. Thanks for sharing this walk with us, Daniel! Love, Carolyn
