It escapes if you look at it too long,
if you don’t play with it,
if you are not generous,
if you demand it,
and when you want to control it.
But it stays
when you whisper in its ear
when you give it space,
when you breath on the beat of the trees,
when you accompany him without asking change,
when you accept the transience and delicacy,
his textures and his particular sway.
His world allows yours.
Wouldn’t we see more, if we walked a little slower?
