into the sun
by Lindsay Sandersdesiccated leaves crackle
under her cautious footsteps.
vigilance flashes in her anxious eyes;
irises gleaming apprehensively with each
calculated step forward. fearfully glancing
at the vast field that lay before her, she shies
away from the brilliant sunlight, as if afraid of
enlightenment. ever deliberating, she longingly
gazes back at dim, murky, forest and itÂ’s
numerous hiding places. possessing the
timidity of a young deer, ultra-cognizant
of waiting hunters, she slowly
steps into the light.
