it was a  dark winters night
moon was shining very bright
cold, crisp snow lay all around
glistening on the winters ground

stars were twinkling in the sky
as I heard the owl's cry
and the moonlight on the snow
shimmered with a special glow

then there was a little crunch
a little sound, a little munch
looking past that evergreen
now a spot of brown is seen

a delicate leg stepped out
big brown eyes began to scout
peeking ‘round  that group of trees
that deer brought me to my knees

there he stood so very proud
as my watching he allowed
he seemed to want me to see
what beauty was meant to be

for on that one moonlit night
Mother nature did invite
understanding to come through
we are the same, me and you

two of God's many creatures
now with you as my teacher
I will bow a humble man
and take my place in God's plan

very pleasant 'write'!

I am particularly fond of:

"that deer brought me to my knees...

...there he stood so very proud...

...he seemed to want me to see
what beauty was meant to be..."

AND:

"...for on that one moonlit night
Mother nature did invite
understanding to come through
we are the same, me and you..."

Applause!

I love watching animals as they react/interact with humans. What an enjoyable read! Thanks for sharing this special moment.
