Shaded Light and Antlers
woodland filled with shaded light and antlers.
beauty’s said to be in the eye of the beholder.
autumn leaves, soul of the soil, wildflowers…
buck and doe scintillate in their space.
they prefer to do life alone sans humans -
get rather skittish when two-legged creatures
enter their retreat…their abode…their cover.
a silent hunter, in stand at dawn, cocks
a gun or pulls back a bow, robbing solitude,
causing ruination of perfect contentment.
woodland with bolting light and flaming arrows.
hunter’s salivating for meat and trophies.
