Early morning hours brought an unexpected gentle encounter with a young deer discovering crab apples in my front yard today. We live next to the woods but it has been some time since I enjoyed such a visit. Autumn brings her own enchantment. This moment was a special gift that I attempted to capture and share here.
Here for a morning visit,
quiet steps upon the ground
head lifted, for our eyes to meet
apple grazing, not a sound.
From the cover of the woodlands
journeyed to my yard to be
a docent of the autumn’s reigning
this morning’s wonder gift to me.
