Aumakua

When no longer able to be understood,
be a raven with harsh tongue,
a stone for rest,
a cloud for shadow,
be my eyes in the sky.
Tell me where the fat mice are hiding,
leave an egg in high nests,
be for me a loyal watchdog
past the crossroads
and I promise 
I will turtle walk with you
forever.
