At first, it is boring
irritating
because I don't want to be there.
But quickly
as I enter the woods
the cool, damp springy air
tinted with the scent of ferns that lie on either side of the trail.
I intrude
but do not trespass
as I fly through the trees
the wind at my back
vast choices for my future in front of me
and I continue
through the woods.
I'm glad that you've reached this point in your life
I'm thrilled that you've gotten this far
I'm happy for you
Watching you grow "up" into someone who has a steady foundation in their life
She has many sides
a faceted diamond
clear and shining
she drapes herself over the landscape
engulfing the cool orange of fall in her white satin robes
cold and gleaming
My funny little friend
appearing at my door
day in and day out
to say hello to me.
So intelligent
yet so stupid
chasing after fallen leaves and blades of grass
lying on the doormat
