Nature's Artist

A brightening skiff of fresh snow falling

Covered stark dark of Winter’s cold ground

Sleeping trees outlined by Moon’s light

Have long purple shadows in sight

Looking like a painted landscape

With nature’s artist having created the scene

Who also added brush strokes of baldness

Midst softening of wintered evergreen  

 

Far from mankind’s selfish intrusion

Ears flicking, sharp eyes carefully probing

With Moon’s bright light painting antlers

Stag and Doe cautiously slip forward

Accessing green growth until daylight returns

Then, with her following Stag’s lead

They return to their safer, forest surround

Aware that within, she carries his seed

A vivid picture of memories from my youth in the mountains. Well painted and written.

Thankyou Soren
We have them leave the tree line to address our fields every night.
They also help keep our laurel hedge nicely trimmed
Have a jolly day

I saw sparkles on water
Dancing past my eyes
Like millions of fairies
In a wonderous disguise
