I am a fox with sly deciet and sly cunning
The blood in my veins, like scarlet waves over rocky shores, running
The Beating of the drums of my heart
Like the sound of the battlefield, start
And as the band plays on in raptured harmony
I'll be at terrapin station with the stars to see
And as the spiral light of venus rises first and shines best
My strength of friends loyalty will be put to the test
Though I am but a fox, small and discreet
I will stand strong with my friends at my feet
And lost in the abyssal cliffs into oceans dark
It will only lead on new lives for this fox to embark
I am my own guide on the mystical path of life
To stand on my own no friends, family, or wife
I am an avalanche running down the slope
Leaving those in darkness no chance and no hope
I am a crystal as clear as a sunny day
I catch and reflect and make beautiful each sunny ray
I am an enigma wrapped in a paradox
All guess and speculation, a pseudo social pox
But when it is all said and done I'm still a small beast
Scavenging the forest for a scrap, a meal, a feast.

Very energitic poem and full of messages. Very rich imagery as well. If find areas of mental spiritual and emotional in array. I like the reference to the fox and the individual differences. Love these lines -

I really enjoyed reading this piece, it was a really thought provoking piece, don't know why but this was inspiring, I love it when a poet can write a poem about themselves and the "image" that they see. I myself took that bold step not to long ago and I'm pleased with the results, I comend you for your bold statement
