Hunted Creatures by John A. Mayer Friday, February 18, 2005 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan

My chair in the forest is a rock. My footstool is a log. Nothing moves but the wind. The eyes of every hunted creature are upon me But I only sense their presence As they silently move away. Today I am not a hunter. The Ruffed Grouse can fly freely In the cedar trees and pines Solitude is all I want. The deer can run and Tattletale Blue Jays can be silent. Yellow rays begin to break Through heavy mist and Banish the chill from my heart. There is no room in my mind For anything but the smell Of wood and water. A tear is hardly noticed Falling to the ground Joining the drops of dew. Beating wings softly land On the leaves in front of me And three startled eyes meet. We make no sound. We do not move. Frozen ...like photographs of you.

Grippingly in the moment, John. Most powerfully captivating. Love and peace. Regis

Great imagery and depth of emotion. I could feel the solitude of the forest and the pain in your heart as the tear slid to the ground. Wonderfully done!
