Waiting On Wildlife

I sat and waited for you tonight. The air became thick with dusk pouring down the hill filling the forest with pools of shadow. I waited patiently for you, making smoke rings, sitting very still. But you chose a different path today that led you aimlessly elsewhere. Yet I came in content if not complete There are endless twilights left for me To sit and wait and hope that you will come.
