a matter of choices

in all the time we take to sit and talk

not one of us has gotten up to look

at what is in the woods just past the brook


 

it's very simple if only we would walk

out through the gate we would not be mistook

in all the time we take to sit and talk


 

but then we'd miss the play of mouse and hawk

which is not written down in any book

nor see the creature hiding in her nook

in all the time we take to sit and talk
