There was no one there.

There was no one there.
I was alone when I took this photo.
There was no one there.
There was no one watching.
There was no child,
no animal,
no creature,
no gremlin or goblin or ghost.
No phantom, no spirit or apparition
peering through the grasses.
The sun came out after a day of rain.
And I took some photos of my lonely bluebell.
I was alone.
The camera does lie.
I was alone.
Things are not always what they seem.
