The Dance In Forest

The endless path curved below

As I trampled across a sequestered forest trail

The shadows of night were dancing all around

Mocking the loneliness

Of a traveler, making his way towards uncertainty

Crying silently in the cover of dense shadows

While his life wails

I see a silver fox dancing alone

In the faint streaks of moonlight

That escaped the harsh density of canopy above

And filled the life of that desolated animal

With radiance of joy

And colors of that exuberant night

I watched the animal enjoying

Enjoying the moments of his short blissful life

Gathering the glee of the nightly forest

Dancing a delightful dance

Triumphing over the barrenness and misery

Of his once pleasing life

I felt a wave of compassion and alikeness

Sweep over me in those few instance

How likely the two creatures could be

In the world so big and vibrant

I sucked in the frivolous truth grinning jubilantly

And moved towards the creature

To be a companion in his alluring life dance.
