To Name a Few:

Oh wise Raven of the clan, Be the friend or foe of man? Oh wise Serpent of the sand, Who does hold the upper hand? Oh gallant Eagle of the sky, Can you teach me how to fly? Oh white Wolf of the land, Will you lend this man a hand? Oh Blackbird who sings so sweet, Would you trade your wings for feet? Oh small Spider in your hole, Spin your web to show your soul, Oh black Bat in your cave, The way you fly and behave, Oh feared Dragon from the past, Will man's memory of you last? /|\

So serpent of the Sand refers to Druids? I like this, I know so little.

May the wisdom of the serpent be thine! They use to call the Druid's serpents. St. Patrick expelled all the snakes from Ireland, but Ireland had no snakes, they were referring to the Druids. /|\

A very, very different poem, Rick. I love the flow and the uniqueness of it. You are a different cat (just my black expression for cool guy.) Keep being you, my friend. Love you always.

Hahaha... Thank you Freddie, I wrote this little one while manic. Before they put me on 'MEDS' I do miss the 'being manic' life, I was far more creative then. /|\
