Buck

I rise up
Off the chaise lounge,
And greet the garden....

The tiger Lily’s 
Are orange freckled faces 
Soft as talc,
The morning dewdrops pose 
Expanding like a ballerinas tutu.

Now I pause 
To watch the roving buck 
Pass through......like a 
sentient being 
The antlers are miniature trees reaching
to the sky,

Silent, he is the guardian of the 
Countryside 
In midsummer.

All in the look...enjoyed the moment through your eyes...as the antler's scrape the sky...
