Woodland Friends

delicate leaf faerie
clothed in naturalness
befriended fox kit once upon a time
his all-knowing amber eyes trusted her
She knew she would never let him down

hypervigilant fox recognized her benevolence 
Her empathetic soul spoke to him
there was a mystical connection
together they became a beloved duo
united by their love for the woods

oaks and elms kept their secrets
gentle northern winds whispered to them
other creatures cleared a path
their allegiance recognized and revered 
their leaves glistened with joy

delicate leaf faerie 
and her trusted companion, fox
patrolled the ancient woods
inspiring unity, listening to ancestral voices
beloved together
