Sometimes we do not understand reasons for events in our lives immediately. Sometimes we can connect the dots in a short time. I am sharing a touching experience that I feel I connected the dots.
Walking on the winding path on a hill She rushed toward me out of nowhere! She stopped a few feet away While trying to catch up her breath She starred into my eyes! I looked into her beautiful brown eyes Immediate connection was made I inquired Why is she staring at me? Why is she not afraid of me? Her eyes were communicating I felt love as well as fear in her beautiful eyes In awe and curiosity I was connecting with a tiny stranger who was not afraid of my size! Looking up few yards ahead I suddenly noticed a larger creature crossing my walking path The creature was a predator to her Perhaps a danger to me if I was not distracted by her eyes It suddenly downed on me With courage and love, the lizard was warning me of the rattle snake ahead I felt the Universal love Joyful tears rolled down on my face Reminder that angels are in many forms and sizes They attempt to connect with us all the time All it takes is our attention and curiosity to experience them Be curious Be attentive Connect the dots Copyright . 2016 by Shervin Hojat

Shervin, I love poems that tell a story and have a surprise in them. This hits the mark.
Good work.

Fascinating read! Strange how all of God's creatures are connected in some meaningful way.
Thanks for sharing, and continued success-

I knew immediately that the creature was small and attractive, but I never even thought of a lizard like that. Predator and prey plays out every day in the wild. As a formidable creature that causes no harm (but sometimes great alarm) you were a convenient barrier to the rattlesnake allowing the lizard one more day of praying on insects.

Bravo for your insight and for your bravery in the situation.

Very good wordplay on a very unique situation. It coulda been worse, very much worth!
