Paths Since Forgotten

A trail winds amongst thick brambles, forgotten by all but ambling deer—their antlers budding up to the crowns. Sunlight dapples uncharted ground in kaleidoscope rays; a mosaic of gold and transpiring shadow. Through the underbrush, leaves burst against my skin like since-kept fingerprints. The air hangs heavy in dampened earth and wild mint strewed to low-hanging branches, the sweet scent of decay. A rustle rumbles through silent pines across the dew-spun earth—a rabbit, startled by my intrusion to its sacred land. The moment suspends its grasp outwards, caught between wild countrysides and known passages.
