Soaring in their flights
Bringing whispery memories

cougar song

the cougar spirit
don't need to hunt for prey
she hunts for her spiritual needs
for what she needs today

treads softly on her path
silent and aware
swiftly on her path 
silently aware

her claws are threads of energy
she splays into the air
and catches her experience
with senses sharp and clear

she sees and she touches
she hears and she scents
she feels and then she heals
she feels and then she heals

she has kept her speed
the speed to master her environment
she is the master
the master of her soul

she's not afraid
she's found her strength
and all this cougars do
she's not afraid
she's found her strength
and this she'll say to you

when face to face with thunder
you hold the lightening power
direct it to your brothers and sisters
transfused with healing rays

because some are in need
and you know the need
and you know we don't need pain
it's the seed of compassion
that tells us we're alive
the seed of compassion
tells us we're alive

badger mother

my friend the badger
she knows how to trust
believes in her own intuition
so focused on 
everything is within
this world is only an illusion
her coat velvet black
and pearly irridescent
reflects the sky moon and stars above
her energy is wild
her energy is sweet
she integrates both
she can be righteously
and fiercely protective and alert
as well as loving
and peaceful and meditative
without splitting in two

dreamshapes

i'm going to ship my shape
to another shore
the shore where shapes are born
i'll shift away from the shape i am 
and make room for one more
i'll leave this port
and travel on
and on
until i form
into a shape that flies
or swims or creeps or crawls
i'll make my choice to be chosen 
from those
that are waiting on the wing
or fin or claw or paw
and ship the power of the gentle ones
to the entrance of the door
the door of dreams
the dreamer lives in every form
the dreamer has no fear
to move to change to rearange
to question and to clear
awake awake
no not your eyes
awaken in the dream
and learn the way of all that lives
for that is your own world

Through all of eternity no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like me
I’m special
I’m rare
And, as in all rarity, there is great value
Because of my great rare value, I need not attempt to imitate others. I will accept – yes, celebrate – my differences
I’m special
And I’m beginning to realize it’s no accident that I’m special
I’m beginning to see that God made me special for a very special purpose
He must have a job for me that no one else can do as well as I
Out of all the billions of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes
That one is ME
Because ... I’m special

Harmony of the Forest
   
He hears the wind’s sweet sigh.
He feels the cool, crisp air.
He sees the cluster of tall trees,
Swaying branches and rustling leaves.

He sees and hears the birds that fly
And those chirping among the trees.
He admires the soothing sound
Of sweet and tranquil melodies.

He sees the setting sun
And feels the warmth it creates.
He sees the glitter and gleam
Of its golden and scarlet rays.

He sees the silver moonlight
That gently touches his face.
The silvery beam makes his eyes
Flicker like fireflies.

He listens to the falling rapids
And the river ever flowing.
He sees, he hears, he smells, he feels
The harmony of the forest.
