"nature"

walking into the snow-laden forest glen,
i notice the lack of sound first and foremost.
what could have happened here and will i know when?

mother nature and her denizens play host,
ushering in a sense of foreboding dread
to the poor human who feels she is now toast.

take a deep breath and pull out a bit of bread,
hoping to entice the skittish wildlife near
and, in the process, photograph ev'ry tread.

as the chipmunks edge closer, it becomes clear:
mother nature accepts me, no need to fear.
