The wooded path
softly curved and
led around corners
among trees
all the time a
gentle puff of breeze
swayed the grass
and caused the flowers
fragrance to infect the
air, the vacuum of silence, as we
walked lightly and
then we turned
one more corner.
A startled speckled
fawn looked up from
her breakfast amazed to
see these alien creatures
her large brown eyes darting
from face to face
trying to make sense
of her revelation. She
decided after the silent moment
maybe it’s time
to leave and swiftly glided
through the woods and bushes off
the pathway and back
to home and safety.
So it happens to each of us
All the time- serendipity
and then, in our minds,
back to safety!
