A hunt among the leaves


The air is cold, clean, and crisp
Morning burns so clear
Ears strain through the still
For the sounds of moving deer
The woods are silent as a tomb
All the critters are yet to wake
The nightshift settles in
After a night of give and take
Soft fog slowly dissipates
Kissing dewy ground
Wham!!
Water droplets caught by the sun glisten like diamonds
Covering all surround
Spiderwebs glowing ever white
Start to dance and sway
As a soft breeze rises
With the coming day
In that moment I knew with all of my soul
That moment was heaven, that one and a thousand more
It's not the end of the journey that's the treasure
But the surreal beauty of each moment is what we are living for
