Naught but leaves brushed in the wind, stemming from the forest behind my house. Oh, and of course, the wildlife seized every chance to tell the stars who they were; they hooted, howled, and growled. And deep under the roots of trees in little holes lived rabbits, cuddling next to their young. All the while Mr. Ant and his colony were dragging a once boisterous Nocturnal Cicada to the nest; a feast for days! I suppose my daydreaming occasionally did extend into the night. I’ve spent countless hours I’ll never regain, but for the off-chance I was right just once, it was worth every second. Kevin Focke
About This Quote

It is true that Naught but leaves brushed in the wind, stemming from the forest behind my house, are all that remain of me now. I have no more dreams to tell the stars who they were. No more cuddling young to protect from predators. No more breath to tell rabbits, howling and growling tales. I was not wrong just one time, I was right all the time!
