Long Walk, Quiet Brook

Once I was walking through the forest
I don't know how long I'd been wandering
And then I came across a brook
Like the ones in a fairy tale story book
I sat and watched it until a deer came
It walked up next to me and began to drink
Then it rose eyes level with mine
It seemed to say stay here with us near the brook
The deer ran off to join its family
I sat there and thought about how beautiful it was there
I saw a berry bush growing by the brook
A small bird was enjoying the little red berries
He turned to me and seemed to say stay here with us near the brook
And with that flew off
I stood up, took one last look at the brook
And I wasn't sure what I would do
Until I returned from my life.
