A Gifted Moment

A moment gifted by nature's mother 
Frozen still- we both stared 
No doubt, who will break first- crossed both our minds 
His tail that quickly rose, drooped- adagio  
He feared me not, nor I- him 
With the sun beaming through the leafless trees, 
his majestic antlers hid well 
He stood- like Rudolph- on steroids 
But, seemed as tame, as MGM's Leo 
A steady stream of mist blew, 
from his glazed snotty snout 
Then suddenly, he grunted 
He grunted once more,  
and then he bowed his head, 
stomped his hooves- twice, 
and continued prancing... 
into the deep, dense 
forest
