Among the Wild Iris


                                                     ... are you lonely, he asks / do you miss me?

                                ... only now and then

                                                          ... when the deer pause in the evening among the wild iris

  2. Have read this several times and was each time taken to a different memory. The deer symbolizes a cadence of calm inquiry. When I watched one walk through my mountain campsite in 1969, I sat down and wrote a letter to the girl who would become my wife.

    1. What a lovely response. "A cadence of calm inquiry," is so true and a wonderful phrase. Thank you so much for sharing your own personal story. I love the image it conjures. I'm reminded of the framed vintage sheet music I have of, "Moonlight on the Colorado."
