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..
