Mysterious Reindeer

I stepped out of the house a little before noon with hope in my head courage in my feet and faith in my knees I knew that I had to go somewhere to meet someone so dare But I didn't know where I rode my bike through the bushy park and penetrated the deep Summer was still linger by shaking dry leaves from sturdy trees whose branches was scorched by the feverish sun Autumn is final here and the trees are in despair Their dry leaves are flying everywhere Leaving an awful stench in the air Time is winding down so be prepared The river is running dry and the clouds are standing by It is nice to be in the company of trees To have a closer walk with thee The snakes are crawling around and the clowns are hopping on the ground The birds are rehearsing in the back And the crickets are having a wonderful chat I wade through the slow running stream In search of my passionate dream So I crossed the stream and enter park on the other side of London town yellow flowers brightens the thick bushes with its colorful light gleaming through the trees I found a quiet spot and sat on a rock and relax in the middle of the stream looking at the leaves falling from the trees Sumer has sucked the life out of the trees but they have been purified in the breeze I feel a sudden peace over me while read the pages in the book Suddenly I heard a rambling in the bush So I held up my head and look A reindeer antlers emerged from the bush she walked down the slope and stood on the rock and stared directly at me It stared and stared and stared And even when I photographed it It continue to stare and would not disappear Shortly there was another sound and baby deer appeared and walked in the water and went back in the bushes but mother reindeer continue to stare I wanted to walked over and touch her antlers But just as I thought of it she went up the hill A strange feeling came over me I wonder what it wanted to tell me My hands started to shake my hearts started to race And the meaning was as clear as a day one two three we are waiting for thee I got up from the rock and circle around the track But the reindeer was no where to be found it suddenly vanished.
