Uponmy wakening,

sunshining through the leaves,

Itaste the maple sap,

thecrisp Autumn breeze.



Myfeet stand me up,

controllingtheir own,

Ipeer all around,

nocivilization shown.



OnI will walk,

throughbrush and over logs.

Acrossthe crystal creek,

apack of ancient dogs.



Mylegs keep in time,

withNature's metronome.

Ahowl, a hoot,

avocal telephone.



Throughoutthe day,

andinto the night.

Thesun, moon and stars

saveme from dark, and from fright.



Theedge of my vision,

itslowly starts to blur.

Awhoosh sounds nearby,

aflash of red fur.



Iglance to my left,

andbeneath a branch of hawks,

standsa magnificent,

redcolored fox.



Myhand reaches out,

myvision fading fast,

untilit's all black,

mystrength wouldn't last.



Uponmy wakening,

thescent of baked goods.

Irealize, my dream,

wassimply a walk in the woods.
