````````````````````````Silhouetted against the shimmering lake <br /> With its waters flowing cold <br /> Tasting of its coolness <br /> Motionless alert sensing my aroma <br /> In the air of the dawn <br /> <br /> Cautiously approaching, deftly I move <br /> My hand upon the silken smooth softness of its hide <br /> Quivering shaking warm to the touch <br /> Innocent brown eyes searching my soul <br /> A smile was shared <br /> For the briefest moment, which seemed to last an hour <br /> <br /> Pressing its head into my arm <br /> No option as I’m moved aside, taking a step back <br /> Whispering grunt white tail in the air <br /> Nothing but tracks in the snow<br /><br />vern eaker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deer-encounter/
