Halo of the White Fawn

Golden petals listen where the stillness sings,
Around the moon’s vast drum of silver rings.
A quiet maiden wrapped in woven light
Stands breathing with the roots beneath the night.

The pale fawn lifts its fragile, sacred gaze,
As if it knows the tongue of vanished days.
Her robe spills dusk and sunlight thread by thread,
Like prairie hymns the wandering ancestors spread.

Soft winds move slowly through the amber field,
Teaching the heart that time will never yield.
For every soul the fading heavens keep
Returns as bloom from earth’s remembering sleep.

Ivory Bloom Trail

Three quiet daughters cross the silver plain,
Their woven shadows stitched with moonlit grain.
White blossoms sway like breath upon the earth,
Soft lanterns guarding memory and birth.

Behind their steps, a pale horse drifts in light,
A spirit grazing through the fields of night.
The sky wears ash and pearl in sacred streams,
Where moth-wing stars awaken sleeping dreams.

Long midnight hair flows dark as cedar smoke,
Through winds that carry words the old ones spoke.
And every silent footstep leaves behind
A path where dust and constellations bind.
