Two Deer at Sunset 

 

Two deer moved though a shimmering field

floating effortlessly through waves of grass, 

in a sepia sea.

 

They disappeared into shafts of light

from the setting sun,

briefly appearing once again,

 

their heads lit with halos,

 like two shining angels

ready for flight.

The Deer 

The way the deer stand,

suddenly still,

gazing silently, 

toward you, 

furred ears pointed forward

white tails flickering,

they stand... 

 

And when you finally move away,

they remain,

still standing...

gazing after you

their great dark eyes seeing -

what?
