(miniflash story)

A mountain, a towering giant, stood sentinel, its peak kissed by the sun. A gentle breeze, like a whisper of nature, caressed her face as she wandered through a forest, a verdant cathedral. The air, a symphony of scents, was filled with the sweet perfume of pine needles and the earthy aroma of damp moss. A babbling brook sang a soothing song as it danced over stones…

A rapid rustle in the undergrowth caught her attention…

It was a deer. For a moment, we stood there, gazing at each other, connected by a silent under-deep-standing. Exactly, at those moments I read something in his eternal eyes, and the verse came to my mind:

“A deer emerges, a graceful sound,
A tranquil scene on hallowed ground.
Wildflower’s bloom, a fragile sight,
Carpathian beauty is a pure delight…”
