lurking in the bushes |

I went for a nature walk on a bright afternoon, thinking of Thoreau, seeing like van Gogh and re-living Rousseau. My reverie was disturbed by a sudden movement. Something was lurking in the bushes, staring back at me. Scary green eyes were all I did see. No shape to discern, no smell to detect, 'twas not down on the ground but standing erect. It took a while to identify who this creature could be, I laughed when I did see it, for it was only me, reflected on a wet leaf in the mid day sun. |

I've heard about people who lurk in the bushes. And you weren't arrested? If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

thanks for hiking around with me Larry? of course not! Besides, I had that you-know-what on, so everything was adequately covered. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (06-13-2003 01:45 PM).] |
