I came home this evening gasping in awe
so fresh are the white speckles on the fawn
She looks so calm with those big eyes
Her neck twists as she watches her resting twin
bending her legs she lays on the forest floor
Mothers never leave them when they are this young
the tears caress my eyelids
tomorrow they awaken to tomorrow’s challenge
tonite they rest under nature’s canopy
*
so new to the world
orphans in forest sanctuary
foraging alone
The prompt at Carep Diem Haiku Kai is Fawn.
