A doe stood in my vision
I stared into her eyes
She wondered if I’d hurt her
I stood in shocked surprise
I simply stared in wonder
Did not know what to do
The deer stared at me frozen
And I was frozen, too
I knew that she was nervous
And likely going to run
I slowly turned my palms up
To show I had no gun
I don’t know where it's going
Or how this came to be
I’m trapped here staring mindless
As she stares back at me
I try hard to imagine
If there is anything
That I can do to gain her trust
So I began to sing
The minutes turn to hours
But, on my life it’s true
The doe is grinning ear to ear
My lips curve upwards, too!
I sing a couple silly songs
An aria a round
The doe turns her ears wistfully
My heart begins to pound
I dare not move a muscle
For fear she’ll run away
I’m aching from the stillness
My thoughts in disarray
What’s most likely to happen
The doe will turn and run
And I will love this gesture
For so much time to come
So, in this magic moment
I’ll just share stares and smile
Store magic for a lifetime
From this enchanted while

Awwwwwww!!!
This is so sweet I love it! It's just an enchanting as the title and content of the poem. I loved how you used the doe as part of symbolism. The whole poem in general just touched me deeply as your other works have done you write with a real passion and knowledge that bleeds from each word and stanza.

Sometimes I'd like to know how to stop the bleeding, but thanks for the wonderful words. So, you thought this was symbolic and not about a real doe? Whew! Relieved!

I really thought that the doe was symbolic and you shouldn't want to stop the bleeding that's just how poets are. LOL!! and there's no need to thank you I need to thank you for all of your kindness and wisdom.
