The grass glistens as the deer cocks her head
and listens.
A gentle rustling of the leaves
but along with the wind
strange new sounds carry along.
A human voice!
She leaps and bounds
tramping and treading
agile with minimal disclosure
to safety and to yonder,
to seek refuge within
fawn and fauna.
And many miles above her,
beyond what her mind can comprehend,
a rainbow lights up the sky,
as gentle as the rustling of the leaves
as gentle as the cub cuddling with its mother
as gentle as the native tending to his horse.
