Deer Medicine

Gentle spirit,

with tulip ears,

playing softly

in the long grained grasses

from which

you feed.

Singing to the softness of your own heart

with your playmate close by,

with a welcoming glance towards me

that brings me great joy

before you turn

and all that is seen

is the purest streak of white

upon your tail.

Delicate creature, you stand

in the wilderness of your heart

going to and fro, here and there,

wherever the spirit, of your kind, carries you.

Here, gentle spirit

to remain

pure and free!

I live near the great home of deers,The Sundarbans of Bangladesh.
I see them more frequently.
Love their beauteous movement.
I adore the delicate creature.
Its very thought gives me a gentle feel,great solace and immense hope.

The "you"s are great, but it starts the first hook without "Your gentle ears". It's considered inconsistent. It's lovely. Very ode to a doe.

Being from the country I have seen my share of deer, but this shines a whole new light for me. Well done.
