the turtle does not
tell of things he does not know
– only what he’s lived –

the wolf remains strong
lower than all that sustains
– the pack remains strong –

the eagle carries
the heart of all the worlds
– sharing his teachings –

the bear looks on life
with the strength to face her fears
– protecting her young –

the beaver’s vision
a natural gift within
– the way it is done –

the raven, correct
understanding how to walk
– together, in life –

here, the buffalo
maintains the balance and needs
of all creations

I might come back to this prompt as I’m not that happy with this write.
