A Walk in Nature
by Elizabeth Challinor
Other human beings
Had the same idea
Some look you in the eye
Full of expectation
So you meet them
With equal energy
Greet them
Feel connected
And walk by
Others
Engrossed in conversation
Don’t notice you
Or fire out a greeting
Whilst they talk by
Then there are the solitary
Silent ones
Should you say hello
Or just let them go?
Some don’t see you
Or are too shy
Others display surprise
That someone has said Hi!
Others look you in the eye
Full of expectation
So you meet them
With equal energy
Greet them
And feel connected
So much to see
In nature...
Look!
A robin red breast!
