Sonnet 84 -- Our Secret

Sonnet 84 -- Our Secret

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
