Indian Summer

Indian summer
the nuzzle of a fawn
as I doze

She stands, not defiantly
not with threats of maim.
She has trust and curiosity
as any babe would have.
She captured my heart
for one split second in time. 
Then she was gone.

I was sitting in my back yard leaning against a small tree, semi dozing. It's about 4 acres enclosed inside a fence. The small doe caused me to open my eyes with a start, as it was licking me behind my ear. It was tame and belonged to a neighbor. It turned, made one leap, and on the second leap cleared the 6 ft fence some 60 to 80 feet away. Gosh, that was beautiful.
