Walking through the trees
The crunch-swish crunch-swish under my feet
I happen upon a creek, smell the wet moss
Peering, leering to take a peek
At the water skipper dancing in the stream
We have similar desires you and me
To float along in this world unseen
Specks on a globe of blue-grey green
The secrets to life i wish you to impart on me
Your existence seems so simple and free
Reaching my hand in to catch a kindred soul
It paddles away as the water flows.
Leaving me to ponder the complexities within
Myself and the forest
As twilight begins…
