A New Horizon

We met morning’s light

with sleepy in our eyes-

 

a movement caught my

attention

as I leaned from my

tent door-

3 AM early past

 

was a deer on a pause

for an apple treat

during a loud chewing-

 

now’s another day

to hail life and its joy.

That's a beautiful image for so early in the morning, Richard. An evocative poem that brought a smile to my face. Just lovely. Paul

Thank you for such fine words, Paul. Deer are my favoured animal. Did you know deer and moose cannot live in the same area due to the deer tick?

Hey Mr Tambourine Man play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to, in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

Not an early riser myself Richard wish I was, you miss out out on so much for me it's just me and Mr Tambourine man.

& Nolan

I like that song, but in the early morning birds take over.
