I was taking my daily walk, but I decided to change things up a bit and I went down a street I haven't been down in years, I think it was called Bond Street? I don't know, it made me think of Bond, James Bond. 

I didn't have my headphones on for once because I was listening to the sweet song the birds were singing. it was a nice change of point of view, from the busy streets of Columbus to this nice, peaceful back road with trees and squirrels and birds.

I looked around, just taking everything in, the peace, the quiet, the silen-

" I know, where you stand.

silent in the trees

and that's, where I am

silent, in the trees"

who was that? where was it coming from? I thought I was the only one out here...

"why won't you speak

where I happen to be

silent in trees

standing cowardly"

whoever it was, their voice is beautiful.

" I can feel your breath

I can feel, my death

I want to know you

I want to see

I want to say,

hello

hello

hell-" the voice cut off

I walked faster towards the mysterious voice, the angelic presence. as I got closer the voice sounded like it was above me. holy crap(pun totally not intended) what if they really are an angel?

I looked up, and I saw a small boy with dark brown hair with wide brown eyes, staring at me from above.

he was perched precariously on 2 separated branches, and it looked as if he was almost a statue, frozen in my sight

"o-oh, I di-didn't s-see you. i-i-i'm s-sorry, I'll s-stop" he winced

"no-no! that was beautiful! your voice is amazing!" I almost shouted at him so he could hear me, he must've been at least 10 feet up. "come down here, I wanna talk to you!" I hoped he would agree and come down.

soon enough the boy was adjusting himself and climbing down the branches one by one until he got to about 5 feet above ground and he jumped down.the only time I got a good look at his face was when he landed, was he crying?
