Through the misty morning a ray of sunlight is cast upon a lone rabbit's tracks, and deep below the bows of a cedar his mate awaits his return.
The day hath quickly passed and now the wind howls and trees moan, I clutch my blanket to my chest and regret most sincerely this night I shall be alone.
The candle wavers nearly extinguished, yet rather in my mind's eye I see a tiny cabin filled with firelight. Shadows dance upon the walls, together my love and I. Whispered words, a laugh, a sigh. Sweet memories held close to warm me until once again together we shall be.
The shutters smash into the glass, the pleasant reverie hath passed. Another blanket I pull to chin as I lie in my bed, alone again.
And deep below the cedar tree, a single pair of eyes slowly blink while her fur ruffles in the wind.
