saw the elk in tender stream of spring standing elegantly as statue still eyes meeting eyes as if to rendezvous nature’s beast to nature’s child and crossing the tepid tide, I stopped to meet the interloper face to face sinewy, strong, and lithe he gazed beyond the stream into my soul and spoke in volumes silent, yet volumes unmistakable, to soothe and I crossed into a knowledge new— he crossed, his eyes departed into a denizen of forever forest silence |

Such peace imparted, eyes to eyes. Perfect description of nature's beast to nature's child. Thanks for writing this. |
