as
he sat on the ground next to a lake
full
of snow white geese with ebony crowned
the
teal ducks and dogs did a double take
and
all came running to circle him round
as
his amazing hands drew upon a pad
they
knew yes they knew he was one of them
my
forgotten camera made me sad
I
couldn’t preserve this delicate gem
he
lived for a moment among his peers
safe
from the sea of words in the real world
where
betrayals caused an ocean of tears
but
animals know only noise is hurled
his
magic and beauty I was honored to see
where
nature and animals set him free
