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
