What He Sees

Whispering endless secrets,
a river winds through a forest.
Echoing throughout the woods
the wind’s music sounds like tinkling bells.
Slivers of life
are breathed on the morning dew
by the sun.
A majestic stag
walks through the bushes,
a sharp rancid smell makes him stop.
He turns his head and stares only as a deer can.
What he sees destroys him.
It’s a fawn’s dead body,
the body of his daughter.

He runs.
