Rouse

We diverted from our path.
Pausing to stroke the bush
Stirring feathers 
amidst the weather 
She rouses from her mid-day slumber 
Shrugging off the broken doze 
Of her much-needed sleep
She strained to whisper
Just like a trickster 
Struggling to pick               
The words that glitter  
She created many magical paths 
Hoping to shorten our journeys 
Waving a finger like a wandering pin
Circling around a compass 
We pondered with fretting feet
Wondering if to end this pending feat
Amidst a screaming timeline 
we screen the closing pathway 
As we envision an ending journey
