On the crest
of the hill ahead
silhouette against the dawn
a coyote
crossed the road.
He was not afraid.
I was far away
enough, he knew,
to do no harm,
vehicle that I was
to his perception;
not a strange encounter
on a country road
in early morning light.
Our worlds glanced
upon each other
to remind us:
we are here together.

Life on this earth is certainly together and should always be that way.

Nice write D.
A nice simple poetic reminder of the connectedness we share. A really nice read thanks.
