The Hunt

The hunt leader ordered the release of the dogs at the edge of the property. The predator’s anticipation began to grow as they spread out in the direction of their prey. An occasional shot to flying creatures would occur, too, as evidenced by a stray feather on the ground here and there. Each shot would send the animals further out as they realized demands for their untimely death were required on these days. Hunters would force them to flee; the plan was working.

A fox hiding read on the faces of the hunters that their goal was four kills each.

Reblog – The Sound of Songbirds by Penny Wilson

This piece magically transports me to this beautiful, serene place. Enjoy!

Penny Wilson Writes

To listen 
to my heartbeat 
and feel my lungs 
fill with air. 

To have nothing 
I have to do 
no place 
I'm expected 
to be. 

I want to listen 
to the 
quiet. 

The noise 
of this world 
has grown  

and I cannot endure 
much more. 

I wish to listen
as the stars 
find their path 
across the sky. 

I want to watch 
the morning dew 
dissipate 
with the rise 
of the sun. 

The sound 
of songbirds 
is enough 
for me.

Dewdrops on spiderwebs:
sit lightly with life.

The tree limb
from which the bird has flown
rocks in early morning light.

A solitary raindrop
at the beginning of a shower
loses itself in the pond.

The world spins like a riddle
through the space of its answer.

The beast of the cosmos staggers,
wounded by the weapon of its own life.

Eclipse: the silhouette of a leaf
surrounded by the sun’s rays.
