Deep In A Lonely Woods

deep in a lonely woods I came upon a clearing I had been face to face with all that I was fearing I'd lost the way to home I had not packed a light now it was growing dark and soon it would be night there stood a silent fox just frozen it its stride I'd come upon it there without a place to hide so I was like a statue to her a quaint illusion I'd not disturb her world regretting my intrusion we both would learn a lesson for time had slowed its pace in that eternity our fears would be erased she bounded on her way and then I stood alone within the garden forest that we have both called home
