Passing in front of the lake this morning

Saw a wonderful sight - three fawn following the water's edge

Gently trudging along with a steady step ...

Heads bent down, tracing their mirrored images upon the surface

Such a touching sight it was to see ...



So young were they ... it's understandable they were mystified

Perhaps ... the very first time they'd seen themselves ...

A vain, but dear sight - I shall remember always

 

- Tristram
