“Wilderness Loneliness”
cji
7/26/19
There against the aging
tree
appearing as a large
brown lump
under a brown hood hoar
hair
eye brows and beard streaked
cold icy blue-brown eyes
seen
as if brooding there
all alone
all others of the forest
avoiding
peeking and fleeing
away
seldom changing in
repose
only one near high
above
wise old owl observing
all
even the lost infant
fawn
which came near
chilling
when with a simple flip
it was covered up to
warm
hours later the doe
tracking
came upon frightened
till the massive mound
moved the covering
nudging the fawn to doe
(only the wise old owl
saw and reported this)
wilderness aloneness
which all of us
experience
time to time in our
lives
here before our eyes!
