On my daily stroll by the creek
I meet a squirrel that stopped to drink
seemingly in his own world
wondering what did he think
The squirrel looked up
lingered for a moment
surveying the surroundings
pondering if I was his opponent
Deciding it was safe
indicating he is a survivor
speaking words of wisdom
conversation turned lighter
Listening closely
stories of life began to pour
adventures of roaming the forest
and living outdoors
It was fascinating
stories of the streams and trees
how to fly in the wind
defeat predators and live free
Living in the moment
watching the sun rise
gathering acorns in the afternoon
hiding them in disguise
The squirrel looked around
stated it was time to go
there were adventures to be experienced
while the cool breeze blows
Winking at me as he left
wishing me a good day
he scampered into the forest
happily on his way
