My Spirit Animals Change

animal lover that I am, I have more than one spirit animal.
They used to always be the wolf, eagle, and raccoon.
Also curiously enough, turtle. 
I know when they change, and they recently have.

My newest power animals are the butterfly and the snake.
Both represent transformation, revitalization, and change.
I welcome them with open arms. 
Even the twelve foot rat snake I saw last week.

Rat snakes eat mice, which would explain why I don’t have any.
For this I am grateful.
Butterflies have always been my spirit animal also.
They land on me and sometimes stay for a while

My spirit animals change, as I change.
Which is often, as I am a Gemini, am I not?
