His Power Animals

Strong Elk 
young optimistic brave
sprinted through the forest shadows 
his heart was pounding wildly

timber wolves followed
They communed with him in silence
a gray owl began to hoot
Hoot Hoot Hoot 

Brave feels protected 
by Father Sky
Who has honored him 
by sending both of his power animals

He slows down his steps 
the urgency of his quest diminished
his breathing slows; he is no longer afraid 
For he is no longer alone
