Just before light,
I followed the sound of an animal..
It was not far beyond me
Breaking limbs as it moved away
I stopped in the morning shadows and listened..
it stopped too..
I could hear it breathing.
Then I saw him..
A Whitetail Buck peered around a tree
His large rack rose high above his soft brown head..
the color of the woods, blending perfectly..
He could not see me but knew I was there..
he snorted and pawed the ground..
then like the greatest animal God ever made,
with one great leap,
he disappeared into the woods..
