For This Moment
Just
for
this
moment
~
our
eyes
lock
~
and
we
feel
peace;
~
We
promise
silently
~
to
be
still
together,
~
enveloped
in the
arms
of
nature;
~
To
behold
~
the
gentle
beauty
~
that
is
you
~
that
is
me;
~
The
world
gets
quiet:
~
a
breath
~
a
gaze,
~
and
then
~
you
are
gone;
~
leaving
me
~
to
wonder
~
if
our
meeting
~
was
merely
~
a
dream.

Reblogged this on The ObamaCrat.Com™ and commented:
Thank you Ms. Robyn Lee….wish all the hunters for sport could read this, and be able to comprehend the meaning and depth of the words.
November 30, 2012 at 1:11 AM
Thank you so much Mr. Jueseppi B. I do agree~something sacred about Nature’s special creatures… hunting would never agree with me for this reason. Very honored and grateful for the reblog dear friend ~ much love your way ~Robyn Lee

I love the simplicity of your words and the photograph and the complexity behind it all – you are amazing Robyn!
November 30, 2012 at 1:14 AM
Thank you so much Julie. Yes — this was one of those moments/images that I was not sure how to embellish with words… and yes – complex feelings, that seemed best described with very simple verse. So glad you got that dear friend ~ means a lot! Much Love to you always, Robynx

November 30, 2012 at 11:40 AM
Beautiful words, Robyn, and so befitting to the photo.
I admit that when reading the words, I was expecting a completely different image though.

RL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
INNOCENCE 🙂 absolute innocence 🙂 The deer 🙂
This is pure innocence xo
your poetry and photo match ………
🙂 in my heart – perfectly
I love the way Your heart writes –
there is something therapeutic about each piece you do – It’s Through The Healing Lens = Yours 🙂
it’s because you’ve studied 🙂 🙂 🙂 and Lived and experienced ….:)
If You have a moment soon – write me 🙂
This Is SO Jungian …………… Now why do i feel That so strongly ? 🙂
You tell me 🙂 xxx
Love You tons
Cat xx
November 30, 2012 at 5:58 AM
Thank you dear Cat ~ your comments always make me ponder and smile. Very happy you find healing and comfort here with me. Yes – very much in sync with Jungian theory… which teaches that animals very often function as symbols of the Self, Carl Jung explained it as “core of the psyche”. Also animals often come to us a spirit guides (sometimes in dreams and sometimes in conscious awareness)… and if we can be still enough to listen … they may share wisdom or soothe us. It’s mystical in many ways…but can feel the significance in certain moments like this one…with my friend the lovely deer. Love you sweet soul ~ will check in soon ! xo RL
November 30, 2012 at 11:46 AM
HIYA XX THE DEER IS INNOCENCE 🙂 Pure 🙂 xo
I will check it out too 🙂 later xo
i’ve always Loved Deer …….
They come and Visit when You least expect it –
To me that means Innocence and a childlike call 🙂

Love you xo
November 30, 2012 at 2:14 PM
I loved your words of the encounter, it brought it to sacred…beautiful, a transcendent moment of pure Spirit flowing, how very special to have experienced that, you are such a beautiful Heart, the Deer Spirit recognized you……..Love, Linda
November 30, 2012 at 6:00 AM
Oh thank you Linda! Yes ~ very much felt like a “spirit guide” the way this lovely creature appeared during one of my nature sunset walks and just held my gaze so intensely. I just savored the moment ~ and then it was over. Very grateful to relive it here again with lovely souls like you… Much Love always to you ~ Robyn
November 30, 2012 at 2:11 PM
You and I often write from the same place but you do it so beautifully :).
November 30, 2012 at 6:56 AM
As do you dear friend ~ and I see this too! Thank you! Kindred spirits some may call it 🙂 x Love ~ R
November 30, 2012 at 2:12 PM

November 30, 2012 at 2:20 PM
I love that photo… almost giving one that quite glimpse before disappearing without a sound as they do… and then to put those words to the photo.. so appropriate , so meaningful…. a Master to the task you are, an absolute master… I always have a quick look at the photo before i read the words… then everything just falls into place… I love it, and your blog… love to you and yours… marvelous…
November 30, 2012 at 8:11 AM
Thanks so much bulldog!! Exactly – it’s that one sacred moment alone with the lovely creature! I know you understand this given the nature of your art and intimate relationship with the beautiful animals of your land! And so appreciate your lovely compliment about my creative endeavors here 🙂 So you look at the photo first all the time do you?? So interesting! I always wonder if I should always place photo at top…but some have told me they like the words first – so I mix it up! Just so glad you are enjoying!! xo Much love your way as well ~ x Robyn
November 30, 2012 at 4:25 PM
I wouldn’t change the photo to the top as this way.. your words can have the imagination working… I just love to look at the photos.. somehow I can picture your thought train then… I’m trying to analysis how you do it, I so want to try…
November 30, 2012 at 11:32 PM
Beautiful

A perfect pairing Robyn. Lovely words to accompany a beautiful image. Such talent you have to lure the reader with your prose, and surprise us, with the innocence of the accompanying image. Blessings, Robyn
November 30, 2012 at 8:31 AM
Robyn, thanks so much for your very lovely words! It is funny how I was not sure how best to describe this image and this moment… late last night – just began to play on the keyboard and this is what transpired… and then I had to smile myself….realizing that the simplest encounter is sacred and is Love ~ So much appreciation ~ Robyn
November 30, 2012 at 4:31 PM
Robyn this is great. I love it. Nature is so unpredictable and you described it perfectly. I love the photo.

November 30, 2012 at 5:33 PM
So true dear Carlos… hard to know what is real and what is dream sometimes! Thank you mi amigo ~ yes – we are all part of the natural world which a lovely thing to ponder! xo
December 1, 2012 at 11:34 AM
Hi Robyn, Wouldn’t it be great if we could sit and commune for awhile with nature. Sit down next to the doe or a fawn, perhaps lay a gentle hand on their fur and well just commune. Your words and photograph take me there to that wishful thought, both are so exquisite in their use and delivery. Excellent Post. Thank you dearest friend of mine, much love and many hugs, hope your weekend is especially good for you ~ Penny xxoxx
November 30, 2012 at 9:35 PM
So wonderful to know this Penny ~ that the post could transport you to that peaceful place. Yes – it would be great if we all could find the time and patience to commune with nature in the midst of our busy lives. Always is restorative when I have these opportunities. Hoping to bundle up this winter and make sure to get my fill even in the colder temps. Sending Love and warm thoughts your way ~ and wishing your weekend is lovely as can be!! xo Robyn
December 1, 2012 at 11:37 AM
Fanciful thinking but fun Robyn. I hope you do also. Much love to you dearest friend, thank you. Hope yours is going that direction for you also ~ Penny xox

Dear Robyn,
This is so beautiful! YES – just this one moment…one exchange, one moment of connecting…and silently. These moments can penetrate our beings and shift us so entirely. Yes. You know that I often write about “just this moment”. Yes, right here! Right in our everyday lives. Thank you, Robyn, for sharing your poetry and pictures. Inspiring, uplifting, and delight-filled. Thank you. Love, Lisa
December 3, 2012 at 11:08 AM
That was such a lovely comment Lisa. You have put it so well… and makes me really hone in on “just this moment”… which as you know is ultimately what it’s all about. I am so thrilled you enjoyed this and felt connected to it. Means a lot! ~ Thank you and much Love ~ Robyn
December 3, 2012 at 10:48 PM
Nice….Our mind tell us its a dream but it could be reality. All we have to do is submit to the heart by allow the person that captured it to receive our unquestioned trust and the dream will come true!!!!
December 3, 2012 at 6:47 PM
Thanks so much AB ~ I agree…. with trust we find dreams and reality can become one ~ lovely! ~RL

Inside a moment
A smile expands like rainbow
on a rain gifted day .
Two hearts
wrapped in ecstasy
hold
high above the mundane
as a drop quenches
the thirst of a forgiven minute .
You and me
and the moment
A universe that’s US
December 4, 2012 at 8:34 AM
I think your work on my blog is getting better and better Nika ~ this is just so stunning. I love the phrase “inside a moment” ~ and the metaphor of rainbow to respresent the most expansive smile… This is way too good to sit in my comments section young man ~ you should post it! Really grateful for your loving heart that finds inspiration to create such magical verse here… Thank you dear friend ~ RL
