White Deer Of Autumn
By: Noah Eaton
8/18/01

White deer of autumn,
nature's shepherd of peace
Prancing about in the timothy,
a spiritual fleet
Napped in silky milky-white,
reflecting the first snow and sleet

Sipping away at the crystal blue stream,
waiting for the leaves to change hue
Hosting autumn's annual dervish,
under the accomodation of the Sun and the Moon
Her white mane resembling the Moon,
reflecting the anticipated snowflake rendezvous

She remembers the wise words Morning Frost told her,
glowing before the spirit of her father in porcelain
"Nature gives all unbounded blessings,
as do we learn to bless these gifts
Spring will come to make anew,
as will Autumn have it's essence harnessed!"

She rejoices this warm sunset with grace,
watching the sun and the moon sacrifice
Feeling the soft cool foothill breeze,
beholding the red velour flickers aflame the skies
And Morning Frost wallows with the white deer of autumn,
sorcery of autumn held to Nature's suprise...
