On the Run

It was so very quiet      

While walking through forest's trees

Altho’ from a small creek ahead

I heard water’s gentle gurgle

 

It was also perfectly warm

A comfortably warm day, mid April

It had rained for two nights earlier

Leaving all round wonderfully fresh

 

Everything everywhere seemed green

With all foliage sparkling bright

Creating a thousand different shades

With dark, light and medium all new

 

It was perfectly soft

Morn’s air was soft with its gentle breeze

Which threaded through trees, warmed by

Silent shafts of sunlight, streaming

 

A small field lay ahead, past the creek

With a rotting log rail fence wrapped around

All fading away, beyond round rocks

Neath the creek bed’s crystal clear water

 

Laying together, my back gainst a log

My pup nestled his head on my leg

We both watched a squirrel overhead,

Being careful that we not disturb

 

I was going to talk to my sweet thing

But my voice would be only an intrusion

The day was meant for bird’s twittering

And the creek’s, casual gurgling, sound

 

While preparing to settle in this place forever

Dark clouds forecast a coming change

A nasty raincloud ended sun’s wonderful warmth

Instigating pup and I, to go on the run

I love walking in the woods to the creek. It quiet and nature is stunning and serene until the rain comes and it’s time to go

[Dave Brown]

There is no question about all you say unless, for instance, a Sasquatch jumps out of those woods and eats you from head to toe
No class!!
Please have a lovely walk but take care to stay away from any areas that Clyde may have left his scented calling card

[Poetic Beauty]

I will definitely look out for Clyde’s droppings lol

I've had so many moments like this with my own dog.
A wonderful moment amid the warmth of spring as you've so beautifully described, and getting outta there darned quick when those dark clouds roll in.
You've brought this imagery to life with your descriptive word choices.

Yes, dogs and walks in the woods
Two of life's better inventions
