Sense of the Forest
I am nestled on the forest floor,
It’s summer, and there is an ethereal feeling of peace
I gaze past the trees, into a gorgeous blue sky
Has she ever been this blue before?
I sense a woodland creature watching me.
I am silent, not moving. Could it be deer? Skunk?
A tiny snake, nearly invisible, wiggles down the trunk of an oak.
I would not have noticed him if I had not sensed him.
But I have precognition, and I had felt him watching me.
There is a soft breeze. It is the perfect day. I feel safer than safe.
I close my eyes. I am home.
