“As you sit on a steep hillside,
Or lie prone under the trees of a forest,
Or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream,
The great door, that does not look like a door, opens.”
Stephen Graham
Another rainy spring day
Another walk in the wood
A place I go to, for serenity
A place, where I still feel good
This time, I walk here all alone
No dogs are with me this morn
I don’t want them to be startling
These two tiny forest newborns
Eventually, I spot their mother
By her side, her two young fawn
The rain, doesn’t bother any of us
On this delightful, rainy day dawn
This female deer already recognizes me
And she realizes that I mean them no harm
I stand and I gaze in wonder at her children
On a rainy spring morn, bursting with charm
Eventually, I head off down the path
Making my way in the rain, to my car
Although it’s not a very long distance
In my heart, I know I’ve journeyed far
Another warm, rainy, spring day,
Yet another walk, out in the wood;
A place, I can still find some serenity,
A place to me, that still feels very good.

in the high country and had a similar
experience with a couple of deer, they
just continued to graze and were not
bothered by me at all...
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
How they knew?
How they knew?
