He Who Loved Night Woman

He Who Loved Night Woman, carrying ivory revive ring, followed twilight heart voice calling. mature antlers appeared as he entered healing water woodland creatures lined up. raccoon, fox, elk, moose, felt the cool water as if they had entered it with him, mystical night, universal stillness in the woods, sky opened, pinked in one specific place, leading He Who Loved Night Woman. An owl gave a tribute. Flooded gnarled oak pulled her roots in, so he could more easily get to his lady love. The only sound was He Who Loved Night Woman diving into the waters deep. He had been seeking his lady fair for many moons. A sacred hush in the forest, awe for his courage, and convictions. His body offered up lovingly onto the shore the next morning, ivory revive ring, no doubt on his love, who had disappeared in the same waters many moons earlier.
