Four deer, all ears and long legs wade across the river toward me, my thoughts stirred and focused – This is their river, the mountains behind a backdrop they don’t see. The leader stops, gazes at me as I gaze at her in this long moment of sun and breeze
Funny, I was thinking of you today as I hiked up a rocky trail at Mt. Doug. I thought of you rock climbing and was like, she's got balls man!! I could never imagine rock climbing, hiking a rocky trail was enough for me!
You should come visit and give it a try! Nothing like a harness and rope to give you courage :) Honestly - you are one to talk - piloting a thousand plus pounds of feisty horseflesh over jumps higher than your head! Now THAT is terrifying :)
Deer energy is PURE LOVE!
Right!?
I love your poem, Nikki.
Thanks Kathi :)
Nice...:) I can hear your dad's voice as I read the words:)
Definitely felt like he was looking over my shoulder/continuing our conversation today...
