SHAMAN SONG
Eagle sits on my shoulder.
Panther stalks in my shadow.
Power animal nudges my heart,
Pushes me this way and that,
Sees through my eyes, and
Watches as I am left with no-
Thing to do but move as move-
Ment moves. I find nothing
To fear, nothing to change.
I move as fish move.
I touch the pulse of animal
Heart, breathe the mystery
Of light and air, and come
To know this place of silence
In which, once and for all,
I AM. Wolves walk at my
Heels, and I walk at theirs.
