No Fear

visiting deer
have no fear here
...they peer at me

I watch them eat
our eyes meet now
retreat not planned

dining neath trees
deer at ease here
so please don't talk

great poetry with feeling, of the deer in a little clearing, as nature does supply, for your healing, i realize, and approve:)

Hush! I wouldn't say a word if I saw them dining "neath trees," Francine. Hope we get to see this site together one day. Terrific entry for the than-bauk contest. Winning wishes coming your way. Love, Carolyn
