Piper In the Woodlands

piper’s heart is full of joy
he scampers the water with joy
the brook gurgles a woodland greeting

balmy light wind twinkles leaves
they frolic in a lively happy way
the day is light, the minnows are dashing

piper scoops up some cool water and takes a drink
his hands are cold now, but worth it
there is a cough. He knows what it means.

He searches, but the woods are a great concealer.
He smiles as he glimpses the tiny white tail
of the deer as she bounds over a thicket

I love your lighthearted writes, Caren. You take me to places I would love to discover in my own thoughts.
