“These men are indignant for what they did not get to do
Even the hewn trees have complained about these fellows too
Why - they groan - they only saw my face move, just my laugh they heard
They protest loudly and are bitter that they heard not my words.”
“So to punish me and my forest they stomp through and cause pain
Destroying my beautiful forest as a way to complain!
They kick my shoots of grass and mushrooms, baby twigs, and pretty stones
All those young fellows do is growl and kick, stamp, and moan!”
“If they were quiet, perhaps they would hear my voice,
If they’d look they would see; that should be their choice
If they’d just look for something good, think how happy they’d be
Then they could be Seekers. Then they could come to me.”
Rae Anne exclaimed, “You're right! Over there! Just look - Oh! I see!”
She went toward the tree in the stone to talk to it with glee,
“I can actually hear you! Sir! Oh, sir, do you hear me?”
Rock Face laughed behind her, and Rae Anne turned around,
“Oh, I’m sorry, I’ll locate you. You must be found”
Rock Face chuckled, “I can go to any rock, distance is no bar
Stay where you are, I’ll be there in an instant. I am not far.”
He told Rae Anne “The Fae say they like you just the way you are”
Which meant that Rae Anne was a good Seeker, she was on their par
She had an eye for seeking out things that were precious and good
She’d find things that should be cared for; and therefore she would.
