\nThe leaping deer

\nHart take flight,
\nMake my heart soar:
\nWhere our paths cross
\nInstill in me adventure love.
\nO leaping One of Advent hope
\nCome soon!
\nContinue the adventure.<\/p>\n

\nO garrulous pheasant,
\nEastern incomer,
\nWith colourful head
\nHow you startle me from the edges.
\nO talkative One,
\nCommunicating presence,
\nOutspoken about injustice,
\nLend us your voice in this season.<\/p>\n
\nO pointing heron,
\nStanding still, waiting:
\nGrey suited, slimlined,
\nSharp and precise
\nYou point ahead.
\nAs we search for the Way,
\nPointing One, alert, engaged,
\nKeep us on track:
\nContinue indicating the right direction.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/foowr.bobjanet.org.uk\/afterlejogblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/dsc_1011225423605700284253-scaled.jpg\")

\nO flying geese,
\nSharing the load,
\nCleaving the sky
\nOn your winter journey,
