between two realms

with every bend in the country road

the voice of a distant grace grows louder

guiding the woman forward as she nears

a field the voice becomes a whisper,

she stops in a cloud of dust and parks,

rising in the haze of an autumns dusk,

she ventures out into the field.

framed in pinks and hues of brown

a herd of deer graze on fallen corn

a gentle crisp wind sails

through grasses and layers pale

meandering footprints worn

a destiny laid out since she was born. 

darkening rays crawl across the sky

playing shadows with her eyes

she glides closer as they begin  

slowly moving, their pace quickening

she swiftly falls in behind, closing

her eyes, letting intuition guide

traveling towards the ravine.

winding down the hardened walls

passing through the door of realms

under the archway in between

they enter a timeless place of magic

where free verse rings true all classic.

gracing the powers of the unknown

she stands back watching, listening

a flutes sweet melody soars

waltzing notes of violins spinning

streams of conversations willing.

joining in thought and verse

one human among dozens of deer

contemplating life and walls of fear

around a table spread of a does delight.

dangling lanterns dim as beats quicken

to the pondering movements of the drum

pulsations of rhythmic echo’s

mingling trails of new beginnings

carry songs and dance with lots of cheer

an evening of festivities with the deer.

12/10 River Maria Urke
