Beasts

Animate objects both big and shiny.

Bend through the rivers, the trees and clouds.

Crowds gather to witness such creatures.

They’ve never seen them before.

Wondering how they move.

Producing smoke without fire.

Do they breath?

What lessons do they bring?

Mass creations with no vision.

Children laugh and watch.

Adults approach with caution.

The creatures creep closer.

Objects who are here to cultivate.

These beasts land, park and anchor.

The laughter stops.

The hurt is great.

Making off with their abductions.

As the shiny beasts disappear.  

And return to the trees, water and land.
