Where the Dust has Settled
There is a place where the dust has settled,
Noisome beast long gone.
There is a place where the dust has settled,
Impetuous chipmunk investigates,
Squeaks “all clear”, scurries out of sight.
There is a place where the dust has settled
Gawking tourists departed.
There is a place where the dust has settled.
Hidden fawn rises,
Mother finds, together they wander onward.
There is a place where the dust has settled,
Synthetic footfall abates.
There is a place where the dust has settled,
Tentative fox appears,
Sniffs the air, darts across the road.
There is a place where the dust has settled,
Silent forest reigns.
There is a place where the dust has settled,
My spirit unfurls,
Weaves among the trees, finding peace at last.
