Spirit Quest ...**

Missing image
 

*

 

On mountain tops breath cool clean air

Clouds white obscuring everywhere

There are some paths that you can find

But buried deep within the mind

 

 

The eagle's spirit knows the way

They live on ledges everyday

They soar the skies watching below

On rising air glide swift or slow

 

 

Our Brother Wolf could show a trail

Both strong and brave knows each detail

There is a fee that he will ask

Sharp are his teeth behind that mask

 

 

The Coyote's path might be the best

His cunning used while on his quest

Through undergrowth, his way is long

He mostly known for his night song

 

 

These spirits help to search for goals

But careful which for there are holes

It better not to follow blind

But add it to what's in your mind

    a wonderful homage to the native american tradition ... I have hosted a "animal spirit guide" - contest a little while ago and truly loved it ...
    wonderful spirit guides you have called upon ... I have always been amazed about the number of poets on this site who connect directly or indirectly with the wolf-spirit ... given the high number of usernames with "wolf" within ...
    he is the great teacher ... and obviously, poets are guiding, teaching and inspiring others through their poetry ...
    the best of luck to you in this contest,

    marion

    To be guided by their hands, wolf of trustworthiness, coyote of clever thinking, it just gives the poem perspective that with their help we can make the world a better place, follow the right path, feed the world and nurture its beauty. This is a lovely penning.

    Jim this is an image that I too have seen and wondered what could be written to give it compliment You seem to have solved it A beautiful poem that if I were honest ended far to soon for this reader. Seems to me there is a whole story waiting to be written with this as an opener Great Work my friend Good luck in the contest

    I have always loved this image and I cannot think of a better poem to do it such honor as you have done here. This is truly a masterpiece of words and beauty and imagery beyond compare. You really outdid yourself on this one. Simply exquisite!
