Daylight Surprise

                                 



                                              Daylight Surprise



Suddenly there she was, right before me

Her magnificence apparent our eyes met.

Beauty of this kind is rare but so real

How lucky I was there as she walked by.



Taken back by sight of one another.

Do not know which of us was more surprised.

White tailed doe of captivating beauty.

Stepped from behind a tree with stunning eyes.



She did not seem alarmed she shook her tail.

She twitched her nose and  I heard a light sigh.

At first she was confused  which way to run

She seemed calm and quietly made a turn.



Leapt sprightly then she started her withdrawal.

Her long legs moved with grace and were in flight.

It was as though she had wings and radar.

Gone from sight in what seemed  like seconds.



Treated this morning to a special delight

Nature untainted by fences or chains

My heart jumped as she made her escape.

Will not soon forget the parting look she gave.



Think she was aware of this moment rare

Performance clearly a joy to behold.

Made my daily walk all the sweeter today

My soul was ignited without warning.
