While Wandering

in the woods i
wonder about animals
patches of white fur covering leaves
a trail of sorts but i am not
to follow

the birds
dipping from tree to tree
squirrels scampering
watching from a high branch
taunting with perspective

and i wonder if they are so content
because they do not question the
Universe or doubt what is natural or
reject simplicity for a basket full of
materials

we are Alive and so we live
they seem to mumble through
blankets of green
listen to us
