Deer in the Backyard
Wide eyes looking from the forest
Stepping softly through the leaves
I see shadowed against the foliage
Grace incarnate, wild and elusive.
I live in one world, they in another
Perhaps my camera can capture
The essence of the wildness
Dancing in their eyes.
Slipping softly through the shadows
Dappled smaller shadows follow on the heels
Of watchful larger ones.
Under my foot a twig cracks, and I freeze.
But they are gone..... so fast, in one swift flowing leap
Back into their own green world.
The shadows empty and still again,
Were they really ever here?
