I watch you
Beautiful deer
In a forest
All your own

It is in that silence
That you move best
Your slender figure
Among the shadows
What light there is
Shining on
From a source
No one then ever
Looks up to see

The way you flow
Turn your head
Your clear eyes calm
And still in attitudes
As a cloudless
Summer sky

No words to say
Since words would fail
To veil the nothings
In your brain

That self determined
Vacuous solitude
Where no bird sings

John, I think this is the most beautiful poem of yours that I have ever read.  Perfectly titled too, of course.
