A young doe and her twin spotted fawns
ramble 'neath gnarled oaks and gently swaying pines.
Snow capped Mt Adams looms
in the background
on this warm summer's eve.
I embrace the surrealistic scene before me.
And as I prepare to take leave
of this mini-paradise,
return to my humble abode
and job two hundred miles south
of my own single fawn,
now following her own starlight and dreams,
it’s a mother’s heart that stays behind
at the crest of that hill
which overlooks the pastures
where a herd of white horses
sometimes stands still at sunset,
staring as the last rays bend the day into night.

And in the afterglow of this sunset,
a mother’s heart beats contentedly,
knowing her child’s passionate dream
has come true.

Oh, Kacy, this is smile-beautiful.  Obviously about leaving your daughter after your visit with her and the Lippizaners.

Oops, suddenly (in spite of being born with good spelling!) can't remember whether there are 2 p's or 2 Z's or both - and I can't get up to see if it's in my dictionary, because my kitty-cat is lying on my leg, and in this household (and in my childhood household too) there is a law that you don't disturb a cat if unless you absolutely have to.

'it’s a mother’s heart that stays behind
at the crest of that hill
which overlooks the pastures
where a herd of white horses
sometimes stands still at sunset,
staring as the last rays bend the day into night.

And in the afterglow of this sunset,
a mother’s heart beats contentedly,
knowing her child’s passionate dream
has come true.'


I felt such soft love flowing through these thoughts~

"of my own single fawn,
now following her own starlight and dreams,"

Oh, Kacy. You speak my language and make my heart smile.
