A deer and I crossed paths today,
I scared him half to death.
Since deer are skittish anyway,
I stood and held my breath.
Browsing in a nearby field,
Then sipping from the brook;
Sad to interrupt his meal
But I just had to look.
His coat was beige and tawny
He looked a healthy buck
I felt both sad and happy
Encouraged by my luck
If only I could tell him
“I don't mean any harm.
Just finish eating as you were
While I just watch and learn”.
