Denizens of the Woods

#hiking onward, windward,
emerging into the clearing
seeing the queen before me
sensing her presence with me
in the living birch
stopping to sit and wait
to watch and listen deeply
until other denizens of the woods
come out to greet me
feeling them all around me
just beyond my vision
knowing they are watching
my every move
