I am pieces of you and me
strung together in birdsong
feathers and wings
I am one with a buffalo
tuning into the spiritual
realm, with each beat
of my heart
I am of bone and turtle rattles
in tune with the animal
kingdom and their songs
I am of the blue heron
learning patience and balance
in times of need
I am of the wolf
who tracked me in a dream
with a message of hope & love
for a friend
I am of the deer
messenger of healing
and regeneration
in touch with
life mysteries
I am of the blue heron
learning patience and balance
in times of need
I am of the wolf
who tracked me in a dream
with a message of hope & love
for a friend
I am of the deer
messenger of healing
and regeneration
in touch with
life mysteries
I am of flesh, bones, talons
feathers, wings, web feet
shell, fur and hide
I am more than meets the eye
if only you would look deeper
writing about messages from the wild
I have an amazing relationship with
animals of the wild. They always
seem to show up to offer guidance
in my life.
I pondered this prompt and this is what
spoke to me.
I'm glad your inner voice inspired this poem. It's beautiful. I have an immense love of animals, so I appreciate your words so thoroughly.

DeleteYes you do. I think this poem expresses it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you Alex. I had an encounter with a cardinal today a symbolism of devotion.
DeleteYour poem captures the feelings I have when I blessed with a profound encounter with animals in the wild. All thoughts of separation are erased as there is a communion on some wild, soul level. Suzanne of Wordpress blog - Mapping Uncertainty
ReplyDeleteI feel animals are sent to us for various reason. Most often to help guide and heal. Signs that you are not alone.
