doe watching sunrise with me

Nature poems
Written By MaryJane Nordgren

  

doe watching sunrise with me

 

elder doe watching sunrise with me

she shuffled into the yard, sat heavily

then curled and sank to lie, head up

looking east over the valley floor

content to keep vigil on the pale

gold seeping between purple blue

clouds, resting

welcome in as near sanctuary

as i can afford her
