The Musk deer searches the forest,
For the fragrance so dear,
She does not know, the musk lies in her navel,
Inviting us to look for virtues within ourselves.

With the eyes like that of deer,
Body slim as leaping gazelle,
The skin so colorful, soft, and glowing,
The beauty we love to adore,
The deer bestows the look so dear.

On a foggy night, when I go for a sleep walk,
I meet deer and fawn coming down to creek,
They wonder about my sleepless troubled mind,
I adore their beauty on hazy moonlit nights.

Advice from a deer,
“Be a good listener”,
For wisdom lies hidden in words we ignore,
In silence, learn secrets the world longs to share.

"Know when to lay low," 
In stillness, find solace, devoid of all fear. 
When storms rage above, and chaos unfolds, 
Retreat to the shadows where peace gently molds. 

"Tread lightly on earth,", 
For our footprints leave marks that forever appear. 
With reverence and grace, step with utmost care, 
Preserve every meadow, each forest is so rare. 

"Take time to browse," 
In the bounty of life, find joy from within. 
Explore the vast fields, where dreams come alive, 
Feast upon moments, let your spirit revive.

"Look both ways before you cross the road," 
In life's bustling highway, where dangers may roam, 
Take heed of the perils and find your way home,
Let vigilance guide us through winding hurdles unseen.

"Don't pass the buck!" 
Accept accountability, embrace what is right,
For the buck stops with us, in actions we take, 
With compassion and courage, our choices shall be made.

The deer, with their tender and exquisite nature, elicit a captivating fascination within me as I witness their presence in the tranquil abodes of wildlife sanctuaries. The counsel bestowed upon us within this prose resonates with sagacity, rendering it a piece of literary brilliance. Indeed, it's a resplendent poem, evoking profound admiration.

Deer are such gentle and beautiful creatures. I love observing them in wild life sancturies. We don't have it here. The advice given here is so sensible. A beautiful poem.
