Her eyes, big
Did not flicker.
She stood straight,
Proud.
She knew I was watching.
Had caught her
At a weak moment
I, so in awe
Of her beauty,
Willed her to stay
Forever.
The only movement
Snow, silent falling
Between us.
Vapors of breath
Wisped about her face.
We both jumped
At the slamming
Of a door somewhere near.
She was gone.
I ran to catch,
A better view.
In time to see,
Her graceful leaps.
White tail disappear,
In darker woods.
