I Cannot Explain

through words

the beauty

of this moment

 

how I must  

stand on both feet

as I gaze

at two

deer-

 

mother and child

one needing

one giving

her fondness as she

stares lovingly

at her child

 

looking about at

the

forest

sky

and life as

a friend indeed.

This must have been an incredible moment as these creatures are so shy. You are very lucky and I loved your poem Richard.

loved this one! You are amazing at catching fleeting moments of infinite beauty.

The two feet bit made me think of when I saw a deer this afternoon, in very windy woods, and just as you say, it was my solidity that struck me, compared to the delicacy of its movement, like the bending birch twigs

And how you describe the relationship between fawn and mother is so tender, simple, pure, it is piercing

so, you DID  explain !!! Brilliantly :0)

Hi Di_Hard, your kind great feedback is like licking at a neat and delicious bowl of soup on a misty day with  dew dripping from lower leaves. Yes, the love between mother and child is so appealing. Have a great day - be inspired.
