Intriguing

Wandering

I wonder through the forest as my bare feet touch the damp moss, I inhale the smell of evergreen scented air as I run. I finally come to a stop as I find a sturdy stump to lean against. I slide my back against the stump as I feel the rough, but comforting sense that it gives me. When my breathing finally slows I listen. All I can hear is the sound of a stream trickling into the pores of the never ending tunnels of earth that I stand upon. But the more I pay attention as I become one with the earth I start to notice the faint footsteps of a curious stag the that had followed my scent to where I was. As it comes closer, but at a slower pace as it starts to realize that I had stopped running, but it still was curious on the fact of why I was there. I started to hum a calming tune so that when it saw me it wasn't frightened. Finally I saw his head poking out from behind a thick and burly oak tree.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." I say calmly as it stares at me with it's large glass like eyes seem to stare into my soul.
