Yellow eyes blink at me,

Hiss of poison threatens me,

But I found comfort in them.

Unlike some,

They remain still until we are of harm.

I let my bare foot crunch on the leaves and remains.

The crisp, yet silent music of the forest drifted me to my own reminiscence.

The smiles, the laughter, the adrenaline surged through me.

But the anger, betrayal, anguish, famish seeped through me,

And that's when the silence

was loud enough for me

To realise I am now in paradise.
