Land, Air and Sea
The tortoise -
Hides her eggs in the sand
Hoping the newborn find their way to the sea
The hummingbird -
Swift fluttering wings
Disguising its iridescent breast that very few have seen
The jellyfish -
Deadly stretched-out tentacles
Guiding a beautifully translucent body along its path
The coyote -
Howls on a mountaintop
Announcing his catch to the pack, off in the distance
The snake -
Coils, then strikes
Warning his prey of his intentions, beforehand
The eagle -
Soars freely through the sky
Seeking food for its young, while protecting the nest
The orca -
Finds his soul mate
Loving her monogamously, until his very death
The panther -
Sleek are his movements
Cunning, prowess, and endurance are his strengths
The spider –
Spins an intricate web
Attracting unsuspecting guests that will never leave
The dove -
Takes peaceful flight
Representing love of all, no matter what the species
The dolphin -
Leaps playfully from the water
Glistening sunlight dances across his fins
The human –
Supposedly the superior race
Trying to maintain balance between all creatures, weak and strong
