BE

she sees beyond the forest
her intuition led her to the small hut beyond the trees
a man obscure and somewhat obscene 
she watched, observing him while she stood at the edge of green 
he noticed her as she took a step into the clearing
she looked at him as if the sun behind him was glaring 
staring desperately to understands her own curiosity 
he appeared normal yet everything about him was unsettling 

He asked her to join him in his time relaxing in the shade
she always heard old stories and tales of a sage
she assumed he would be old, decrepit and gray
he asked her one question as they sat in front of his hut beyond the trees 
what brings you this way?
for moments she didn't say
then finally she revealed
are you the one I see in my dreams, are the visions real?
he says to the woman, as real as you accept them to be
because within this clearing, beyond those trees, in front of my hut, in the shade, next to me, your free to be whatever, and whoever, you wanna be
