New life has come to the prairie
The remnants of the harsh winter
are only memories in my mind

A fawn crouched among the grasses
Carefully hidden by its mother
Accidently discovered by me

Its spots become its salvation
Keeping it concealed from dangers
Its breathing is so shallow
I wonder if it is alive
But one eye blinks
So I carefully walk away
Leaving the fawn to discover
its new life on the prairie
