By Pagan Pretorius
In the depths of the wilds, beyond human sight,
there’s a force of energy, a power, and might
A presence that calls from beyond the veil,
whispers of wisdom, that never fail.
They are spirit animals, beings of great grace,
majestic creatures, that move at their own pace.
Each one unique, with a lesson to teach,
and a message for us, within our reach
The wolf, with its pack and its howl so bold,
reminds us to trust and to be uncontrolled,
to follow our hearts, and to run free
To be true to ourselves, wild and free
The bear, with its strength and its towering size,
teaches us to stand tall, with courage and pride,
To be confident in who we are and what we believe,
to face our fears head-on, and never leave
The eagle, with its wings that span the sky
shows us how to soar and to aim high,
to see beyond the horizon, to never give in,
to be fearless, to rise above, and to begin
The fox, with its cunning and quick wit
teaches us to be resourceful and to never quit,
To navigate the twists and turns of life
with intelligence and grace, and without strife
Each spirit animal, a guide and a friend,
A teacher and a mentor, from beginning to end
A reminder that within us, there lies a spark,
a power and magic, that shines in the dark
