He is a traveler
roaming the woods free
exploring all aspects of life
beginning at a tree
Ears perched high
his tail curled round
seeing a free meal
he runs unbound
First nuts from a tree
his cheeks are full
little teeth grinding
from the nut he pulls
Scampering on
running across the fence
eyeing a bird feeder
his gaze intense
Slowly at first
then to a full open run
he steals some seed
before the sound of a gun
Running rapidly
he escapes in the field
joined by others
with the bird seed yield
Returning to the park
he is in protected land
living in the moment
life is grand
