POWER ANIMALS by Alernon Come to us: Eagle, Wolf, Bear and Cougar. Dance we now The Power dances. Eagle soaring above the peaks, Share with us freedom, majesty and fighting skills. Teach us lessons we need to learn. Dance with us The Power dances. Wolf, cunning tracker, by day or night. Share with us endurance, courage and adaptability. Teach us lessons we need to learn. Dance with us The Power dances. Bear, trampling along earthen paths, Share with us Mighty strength and sense of smell. Teach us lessons we need to learn. Dance with us The Power dances. Cougar, lonely tracker of terrains, Share with us Agility, stamina and endless curiosity. Teach us lessons we need to learn. Dance with us The Power dances. Movements slow Movements rapid. Frenzied swaying Upward, downward. Dipping, turning Round and round. Dance we now The Power dances. Dancing partners, You and I. With me, in me I am you, you are me. Together as one, Yet separate, too. Dance we now The Power dances. Awaken now All Spirit Beings, To dance the dances With your human kin. Dance the Cycles Of Life and Death, Hope and Fear, Good and Evil. Dance the Cycles, Now and Again. Lowerworld, Upperworld, Journeying now and forevermore. Of Time and Space All is Once, There is none. Dance the dances Again and again. .......from R.M.P.J. 8/86
