Dune Deer
She whispers across the dunes, like smoke on the wind
liquid black eyes gleaming
She pauses, muscles taut, tasting the wind
and a trace of my perfume
Afraid to move and break this fragile communion
I whisper softly, singing prayer into the night
An offer of thanks for this connection of souls,
for her ethereal beauty and grace
She stands braced and watchful,
two delicate speckled shadows drifting to her side
I smile the knowing smile of mothers,
that eternal universal knowing
She dips her head in acknowledgement,
chuffs softly to her fawns
Then like a dream remembered,
they vanish into the gloaming
Drifting silently towards the rising moon,
leaving only a glimmer of wild trailing softly on the breeze

Such beauty. I love this: “Then like a dream remembered,
they vanish into the gloaming”
Gorgeous write!
yes, beauty!
chuffs softly to her fawns
Then like a dream remembered,
they vanish into the gloaming
