The Squirrel's Day

It is a lovely Saturday afternoon The sun is shining the trees are smiling And fall is closing in Bright golden leaves hang proudly from tall slender trees They stand at attention on top of the hill Waiting patiently for me I feel like running I feel like shouting And I feel like dancing The fresh air flows through the trees and soaked its passion all over my skin blowing its breath upon my flesh and touched my nerves with a sensational thrill I wish if I was a bit taller I wouldn't have to look up to the tree we would hold each others hand and and fly all over the land I continued my journey in the park with an open and relaxed mind inclined to delivered what is required of me I paused for a while and observed the setting around the park Cars filled the parking lot and white chairs neatly arranged on the grass It seems as if they are setting up for a wedding I walked slowly along the trail listening to the rumbling in the bushes Everyone was having a special day The squirrel were all at play people chatting and walking up and down the trail family riding their bicycles and a grumpy man cruzing with his dogs The white man ran speedily along the path his shirt soaked with sweat I could hear him gasping for breath I walked past my usual spot and found another place to relax I secure a cozy spot on top of the mound in front of the running stream and sat on the cemented stones planted in the ground My heart is filled with gladness It is so nice to escape from the county madness The noisy traffic and corrosive energy dissipate in nature The sadness quickly disappeared and nature rapped me in its bosom and whisper sweet words in my ears I was not alone I could hear the water trickling beneath the rocks and the sound of the wind stirring behind the block Nature is healing nature is exhilarating Oh it gives me a wonderful feeling I sat on top of the stones enjoining this second round The birds were resting the crickets were fast asleep Just me and the squirrel were enjoying the afternoon feast Just as I thought of it a sudden wind start blowing through the trees shaking off all the dry leaves and woke the silent birds then it suddenly clamed down I jumped on a rock and cross the stream and stand among the trees with bright golden leaves and become one with them They listened carefully to my soul and they tell me that I will never grow old They calmed my spirit and invited me join them in the chorus I could hear them singing and I could feel than hugging me The squirrel raced up and down the trees gathering nuts and taking them to the hole Winter is knocking at the door The squirrel are not just playing they are storing up food for winter The trees are smiling and nature is glowing it gives me a wonderful feeling I felt like gathering fire woods and camp out in the woods But the ranger would bark and screamed at me On my way back a man and his puppy dog was jogging on the track He greeted me politely and disappeared around the bend I felt a warm feeling inside as if the entire world was by my side And someone special was waiting for me Yes there she was waiting for me And so a deer came out of the bush and greeted me and vanished Nature is filled with mystery Nature is warning me Nature will determined my destiny Today is the squirrel's day.
