A moment in time

Across the field i saw him

He was capering, sniffing, searching

I was watching, waiting, listening

Two separate creatures

joined by a moment in time

He lifted his head and became wary

He knew he was not alone in the field

I stood stockstill, attempting not to disturb his day

Then....

He ran.

I sought to follow him with my eyes as he sped away into the woods

A flash of orange amidst the greenery

And then, there he was, on the path in front of me

Both of us stopped

Stared a moment

Pondering the other

and then

the moment was broken and

we went about our business

A chance encounter.
