Caught in Headlights

 

Traveling on a cold winter night

we meet on  a dark roadside

confusion, blinded by light

sensing danger, eyes wide

feeling your racing heart

beating in rhythm  with mine

synchronicity  plays its part

whispers from a green pine

casting your spirit in twilight

caught in suspended reality

healing wounds,  we'll be alright

visions expand, past normality

deer you teach with gentleness

as I am you, and you are me

loving with pure tenderness

using our other abilities, we see

seeking balance,  new direction

woodlands offer an alternative path

in headlights,  our own reflection

under moonlight tears our bath

renewed in spirit,  we witness our

own transformation..

Deer Heart

I am a creature of the land

heart of gentleness free spirit

many seek my mystical powers

listening to cries of each conch shell

carrying their weight upon my back

why, do you feel the need to collar me

look into my dark eyes, feel my pain

hunters come to track me down

camouflage I  hide in tall green pines
sprinting  between dark  shadows

seeing behind the mask of deception

my antlers are strong reaching skyward

would you wound me with your arrows

healing & regeneration my gift rebirth

balance lays in love and compassion

heart of gentleness free spirit

I am a creature of the land 
deer heart..
