    ARTEMIS AND RUNNING DEER

                ARTEMIS AND RUNNING DEER
                    BOTH ROAMING THROUGH THE SEASONS
                    FLEETFOOTED, TOGETHER OR APART
                    WERE CLOSER THAN THEY KNEW
                
                    THAT SUMMER'S EARLY EV'NING
                    SUN LOW ... THE   SKY AGLOW
                    RUNNING DEER STILL ...ALONE...
                    DRINKING FROM A SAFFRON POND.
                
                    ARTEMIS, FAMILIAR WITH THE PLACE
                    COMES CLOSER, WITH A SMILE.
                    RUNNING DEER, STARTLED AND OFF-GUARD,
                    ALMOST TAKING FLIGHT...  STAYS PUT.
                  
                     NO FEAR, NO HASTE, NO NEEDS, NO DOUBT
                     BUT JUST SOME GOLDEN PEACE...

    This poem is a beautiful allegory about the spirit of beauty & grace being of the same nature, despite their being called by different names by different tribes of the Great Spirit's people. It also hints that the pathway to reconciliation among the tribes may best be through the spirit of beauty & grace. Great job!
