At Forest's Fringe

At forest's fringe 

When I picked crocuses
in 2001,
my thoughts were strange,
some memories gone.
I looked to the sky
without being shy
and looked for apples and hay.
I crossed the forest,
the air was still warm,
but sudden cold winds
brought me shiver and 
turned into storm.
A deer looked at me 
from its shelter behind.
I did not disturb it
and returned back home.
found even some mushrooms 
of different kind.

Hi Gert! I'm new to your work! will enjoy more! ...I visit the forest for inspiration and head-clearing too, like many on the soup! I liked the gentle hand in which you held the deer's respect and scouted 'shrooms!!! jimbo
