i don't know, how
to get home, she said
to the deer that lay
on the newly fallen snow
-
sit down a few minutes
and think, of how you came
and how far you must go
the deer said
-
so the little girl, all trimmed in red
with the white trim
perhaps more like red riding hood
then mrs claus
what way did i come
she said while she sat on a stump, by a tree
and placed her packages there
and thought, now from which did i come
-
she looked up and suddenly
she saw a path that was forming
under the fog, but
the snow was still falling, and she got up
to get up and
she picked up her packages
with her new found confidence
she looked over
for the deer that lay
in the snow
now where did it go
it was here, i'm sure
she said
but, she kept on walking
perhaps it was a dream
karinsuezen28 after all, she said,
karinsuezen28 and she got closer and closer to home
and before she knew
her ma took off her cloak, and got
her to dry by the fire
and they had their christmas
dinner with all family around
but as the little girl looked
out the window later on that
night, she swore that
she saw that deer again
er spirit deer, she called it
-
