A Shamans Vision
The Moon rises over the crest of the mountains
Slipping under the covers of a black velvet
Blanket, sprinkled with stars, to guide her path.
She travels in company, never alone, she see's
All which takes place during her time. Coyote
Howls to her, asking her to sit and stay for a
While. Sister Moon moves on however, knowing
That Coyote only wishes to make night longer
So he can pull more tricks. She looks down
During her journey and see's Owl, gliding,
So silent, and in the search for prey. His wisdom
Knows much, and he see's far beyond the range
Of this wildermess. Off in the corner, she see's
Wolf running, the gray ghost of the woods, he is
Always vigilant, and because of it, He is gifted
with being the spirit messenger. Deer is seen 
Lightly stepping through the dew covered grasses
Of the meadow. Turtle slips into the pond to talk
To Waterbeetle to hear once again the story of
Creation. Hawk is caught napping between hunts in
The branches of the ancient Oak tree. Grandmother
Spider is busily cleaning Her web. Moon looks over
The cliffs overshadowing the meadow. There she spots
Cougar looking out for a meal as he silently stalks the cliff
Tops. Lynx and Bobcat are carefully watched as they
Approach a Spirit-speaker asking for protection for his
Sister. As moon starts to melt away from our vision she
looks back once more. She watches as Bear stumbles out 
Of his cave, groggy, but ready for a new day. Old Man Buzzard
Is seen preparing for this new day as Eagle starts His hunting 
Early. Brother Sun now starts to rise from His slumber, Ready 
To start things anew, Ready to travel His lonely path.
