Nights are lengthy,
days seem shortened
moonlight madness
gives way to sway
of misty morning,
dawn's early light
pure beauty ...
innocence intrigues
winter's woodland
wears her
white laced shawl,
snow dressed ...
unlikely, unusual
friends nuzzle
if only humans
could, would arrange
to solve the puzzles
of night and day
The poem is written to a picture of a white deer sniffing a black raven who is fluttering in front of him in an amber leaf-strewn forest.
