Who is that Masked Bandit

Lazy spring day

relaxing under a tree

nature bursting with life

birds flying from limb to limb

a butterfly seduces a wildflower

in the light of day..

overhead  a maya blue sky

soft puffy clouds drift by

from a giant maple

helicopters spin

twirling around until

they crash to the ground

sturdy tree rattles as if

to speak..I look

above through

thick  branches

what is up there

I feel his eyes on me

and then I see him

clinging to the tree

are you friend or foe

he teases me as he stretches

green leaves curtain his face

we play hide and seek

an amusing little game

I need a better view 

binoculars in hand

focusing upward

haha..

I see you now relaxing

back in the nook of the tree

you tilt your head a bit

to the right and I catch

a glimpse of your masked face

are you contemplating

your adventures tonight

under the cloak of darkness

what will be your loot

tell me friend what do you

see from your lookout point

do you wish to share a

secret  - are you as curious

about me as I am about you

we share a magical moment

one lazy spring day..
