The Fox's sun

 The Fox's Sun

The yearning beams of sunlight peek out from beneath the hills-engraving the grass with a fine thick brush, giving the trees another life.

The little fox who sleeps late, wakes instead to find himself wrapped in a blanket of dancing gold. Yet he still feels the delicate twinkling of the previous night's crisp cold air.

Does he know what he is seeing?

The Gaze

 

THE GAZE 

A gaze can stop you
In your tracks
But sometimes a brighter one
Will push you forward

This gaze was neither
Which means it was both too
It stopped me
It pushed me

The gaze of the frightened creature
Made me lower my long-barreled
Gun from atop my stiff shoulders
And let it go unharmed

Diana's birds

The birds in the moonlight
Never cease their flight
Silver tints those feathers
From the transparent silvery shine

The birds do not cease to fly
Mooney wings widespread...
Fluttering and soaring
Within the hauntingly lovely night

Spanish Correction!

    My mom and I were riding the bus back from my violin class.  She spotted a sign that said "This Bus is Equipped with Security Cameras" It was in English and Spanish.  My mom started reading the Spanish out loud and saying how similar it was to English and Latin.  She read, translated and kept reading.

    A guy that was sitting next to us started correcting my mother's off-tune and off-beat Spanish.  My mom looked a little embarrassed but followed along.  Looking back, I guess you should learn a language before using it!
