Although your heart is winter,
although your world is snow,
you are the brightest of its fauna,
cheerful and aglow.
A specimen of magnificence,
free to act at will
aflight toward a destiny,
only you'll fulfill.
You're a gentle forest fauna,
who didn't ask for much
for you only saught rememberance
within the artists gentle brush.
And as you saw the camera,
with it's handler in the snow,
you swooped and landed lightly,
casting your gracefull glow.
Your presence an inspiration,
your feathers bright and clean,
your tiny frame so innocent
inviting and prestine.
But as you landed softly,
you sang the sweetest tune,
and to this song no mortal man
could ever be immune.
"I'll land within your camerea's reach,
let this picture taken be,
and maybe one day one will make
an artwork just for me."
But within this tune so ever sweet,
a meaning deep was sung.
and after the camera's fatefull flash,
the fauna's wish was done.
