gather ‘round to touch her heart.
Somehow their instincts assure them
she will strive to offer protection.

Wee winged one that fell from its nest

Fox settles down with her kits, against a nurturing oak stump.
Meadow and forest perform their nightly slumbering rituals.
Vigilant deer mama is resting in a bed of fescue next to her fawn.

Tarnished gray, as  the doves you have scattered away
you were yelping as if the moon were your prey
 
Eclipsed by the sage  you then vanished from eyes
disguised by the chaparral, just as clouds hide the sky

With cunning assurance,  you were closing the...

Deep in our forest woodland,
	where white tailed deer roam free,
