I Came Upon a Water Spring

I came upon a water spring

Its running sounds alerted me

I tested the temperature with my finger

The refreshing taste did cause me to linger

At first I was alone in the woods

Surrounded by leaves of orange, yellow, green

A doe did join me to quench its thirst

Away in the distance, her tail did twitch

She continued to drink without a flinch

Her quiet beauty did beckon to me

To watch her drink from the water, knee deep

Eye to eye, we watched each other

She saw that I did not threaten her
