I heard quiet steps
My head turned towards them
I noticed feet
bare on the ground

There walked a boy
His presence magnetic
his soul majestic
heart warm like home

I heard him talk
in multiple tongues
not only to humans
also beasts and plants

He was great at hearing
sensing and feeling
When he told his own stories
they felt wild and surreal

There was someone with him
that he once befriended
that taught him importance
of trust, love and touch

It was a dear goat
silent and faithful
They were there for each other
their souls were attached
