Amongst the bare, chill trees

and the sun-speckled slopes

I see my elusive friend,

the white-mottled deer,

who drifts in and out of my view

and graces my days

like the grace-bearing breath

and the mysterious light

of the Spirit who quickens

yet remains beyond grasp.

A friend nonetheless - sharing worlds of different realms, coming together acknowledging each other with respect, sharing what God has given each, there for each other, and moving on. Great picture, great poem, from a great young woman.
