Time to Write

Blazing gold leaves turned to leaf mold covering promises of another spring.

Time to write. 

A red fox scampered lightly over crusty snow through boreal forest of spruce, winter-bare birch, and alder. 

The last fresh, tasty morsel squeezed from a garden turned fodder for moose. 

Time to write. 

The fox cast a sharp shadow under a full moon unveiled by fast-moving broken clouds. 

Lonely skies, void of migratory birds, echoing raven’s raucous cry. 

Time to write. 

Seeking cover from the moon’s watchful eye, the fox paused in the shadow of a spruce tree. 

Freezing ground, heaving frost, embracing a warm mantel of falling snow. 

Time to write. 

It sat on its haunches and sniffed the air, testing for a whiff of the subtle but alluring scent that led him here. 

Stand and stretch after a hard day of writing; job well done.

Time to relax… 

…and read.
