Fall Into Love
Leaves rustling beneath my feet as my eyes are captivated by the
setting of the sun. Many shades of pink dance upon the earth with
brilliant light. Emotions of the breathtaking view overwhelm me
as a smile decorates my face. My ears are tuned to the rat tat tat
of the woodpecker in a magnificent oak. Immediately I see this
loud and persistant creature. Quickly stopping I set my rifle
and rabbits down and remove the thick insulated gloves. Searching the
duffle bag I locate my old phone at the bottom. Taking many
pictures in hopes that I will turn out with a darkening canvas.
I begin to ponder how most things are miniscule in the grand
scheme of life. It's only when moments of loneliness touch our
hearts that we are truly awaken to the richness of the world.
The quaint little cabin beckons me home. After replacing
the warm gloves I sling the gun over my shoulder and pick up the
rabbits.
Thoughts of returning to the peace, tranquility and warmth of a
fire fills me with delight.
Making my way through the thick woods the angry river echoes in the distance.
Remembering why I chose this Heavenly spot to call home amongst God's creatures and
breathtaking nature during the deepest darkest time I've known.
Shiloh awaits my return with curiosity as he sniffs
the sweet scent of the day. A treat followed by a scratch on the head
for guarding the homestead. Followed by a delicious dinner
slipping into an oversized chair I drift off to sleep and lost amongst visions
of hope for a new day.
