Little Bear was watched over carefully by her bear spirit animal
She did not always see her, but she felt the bond and communication
When she was scared or upset, the grizzly bear showed up in spirit
To reassure her, give her advice, to listen and sooth her feelings
I wonder why my spirit animal is a bear, she asked her grandmother
Because you have so much spirit, you needed a large animal
One you would admire, and listen to, the bear chose you.
Never forget to thank her, she is your spirit animal, a gift.
Do you have a spirit animal, Grandmother?
Grandmother smiled at the question, yes, for me to know.
Do you share your spirit animal with others?
From time to time, with a grizzly bear, she replied.
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened"
by Anatole France
Animals: all the various kinds
every shape or color I'd choose
I'd love them all, not one left behind
in my longed-for garden's earthy hues
And, for each one, a home with nice views.
In my garden, two squirrels you'd find
for each needs a friend that looks the same.
Cows, lookiing so sweet, you know they're kind
and, of course, only those that are tame
Thus, no lioness with tousled mane.
Rock Island hens, and the birds in flight
a chorus of songs from those that sing,
Bunnies, puppies, kittens, black or white.
To all creatures, this wish I would bring
a warm home, safe far from winter's sting.
What is it about a hug? Have you ever wondered why
we use this little squeeze of affection
when we greet our friends and family…
and…when we say goodbye?
The hug is universal…it can be found everywhere…from Albania to Zaire.
It’s a gentle and tender way to show our friends an family we care.
The funny thing about a hug, however, is…
In order for this affection to be shown…
it’s simple physics really…one cannot hug alone.
To feel its power…its magic
with a person or an animal a hug has be paired…
Yes, the only way a hug can work…is when that hug is shared.
A hug can show our love, can calm us, can help to ease our fears.
A hug can bring a smile to our face or stem the flow of tears….
Lovers hug, parents hug and what child does not love to squeeze…
While walking in the forest I’ve even see people hugging trees!
A hug is a way to communicate without words…
and before a hug is done…
for a moment…in the midst of a hug…two people become one.
I wonder…if knowing the grace and beauty of a hug
understanding its magic and its charms…
is the primary reason our creators
gifted us with arms.
"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief" Quote by _Constance La France
The food in the county jail is horrible
but it's not worse than the pain in my heart
She left me, running for the hills
which tore myself apart
I am here and I am lonely
It's just me and my cat
She comforts my sorrows for me
and her companionship does much more than that
But can an animal, a pet,
replace the love one of which was human
Can the pain of loss ever be repaired
like embellishing a plate with cumin
Grief has accompanied me to the bridges
The height of which I yearn to leap
But I hold out for my lady may once return
And that would be the most awesome feat

A group of animals very close to a strawberry farm was spotted by a female fairy, one early evening. She was delighted for seeing, hearing six different animals talking to each other again.
The cat said to the leveret, "Meoww..."
The leveret nodded while watching and listening to everybody in the group.
The third animal, a chimp, laughed out loud for showing his new discovery -- a big, orange-colored watermelon.
The fourth animal, a squirrel, was amazed by the strength of the chimpanzee -- clapped and praised the chimp.
The fifth animal, a male woodpecker, telling everyone that he'll always look for food each day for all of them. They only need to help him get the food for them.
The fairy noticed that the sixth animal, a chipmunk, is weeping... the other five animals noticed it too.
The chipmunk was asked by the leveret, "Why are you crying?..."
The chipmunk replied, "We will be scolded again. This is the third time the chimp stole a watermelon from the same old farmer!"
(The fairy knows it's a pumpkin that was brought by the chimp this time, not a watermelon.)
“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.” Anatole France, French Poet
A pet can steal your heart.
The dog that you brought home
who always wants to play
is one you come to know
you’ll never give away
A pet can steal your heart.
A precious kitty cat
at night curls up with you -
if ever she gets sick,
there’s nothing you won’t do.
A pet can steal your heart.
It doesn’t matter if
it’s very big or small
because when you are hooked,
you’ll give that pet your all.
A pet can steal your heart.
I know this truth because
when my dear pets passed on,
I sadly realized
bits of my heart were gone.
Diagonal princess with hidden faerie wings
Her beautiful loveliness effects all other things
Power animal a red and blue dragon so fine
Mushrooms and tulips help her pretty garden shine
Her purple baby dragon wants her to throw his bright ball
Magical multicolored butterfly admires them all
Diagonal princess picks up her sword and shield
With flora and fauna, she admires her gorgeous royal field
IT is dark down here & this awful reality
satisfies the ego and frightens the soul
but makes a state of distraction
; an abomination --an abhorrence
for all that it implies -a living organism
as a leaf or a particle.
There is no non-life only emptiness & this filth
whose existence is temporary-- a first-trimester pregnancy
in an animal --a rejected spiritual soul, it is real-
life in simple terms-- the personal growth we are
so ignorant of the brave face of existence --a thing
we will 'never' ever come to terms
with --the vagaries of Time which call to us
'cross the bridge' & walk the Yellow Streets
of Van Gogh.
Hav you never ever walked the edge of fields of
so yellow they smell of gold -- the wheat fields
of Vincent Van Gogh: he was a bastard
to most but greatly to 'self' --> killed the personality
but never the Art
nor the Soul

As she meditated the room brightened.
Streaks of energy came in and lightened.
She did not flinch, used to such things.
The whirls of essence danced in her rings.
She shut off her eyes and concentrated.
Hoping her front latch was firmly gated.
She understood the value of the spirit guides.
Who were now showing their power deep inside.
Her ancestral guides were filling the room
They came with a swish, one came with a swoon.
The room began to change, her face as well.
She was no longer herself an enthusiastic tell.
The flame of the candle began showing off
She heard her mother in the next room cough
She smiled for she had not seen her for a long time
Spinning in happiness, her spirit animal a mime.
I know you are here, she told her deer.
Her most favorite power animal, now so very near.
Not to worry my lady, the fawn said silently.
Your meditation is the best today it will ever be.
Do you acknowledge the traits of Homo_ Sapiens?
The up righted body and/ or high IQ Intellectual?
No! It must be the morality awakening by Sunrise
And resting quietly when the sunset goes to low
The truth is brightness lightens an animal a human,
While darkness colors a human as being a ghost.
There's a room in a warm town that holds a poet
He quivering and shaking and no one knows it
Critically alone when he needs a friend most
Shadows from his past are haunting him like ghosts
I shot up enough just kill the pain
A harmless little dose just to calm my brain
Til I was caught making love to my sins again
A tiny stoner wreck spewing lies again
And I could still hear the cream calling out in sultry tones
Bleed digital until you stop the urge to moan
Keep slaying demons til you calm down again
Before you need a noose on every streetlight calling your name
There's a room in warm town that's filled with sorrow
Who's to say that the poet will survive til tomorrow?
Driven to despair by the weight of his sins
A grieving poet gives birth to words again
A stone on my chest gives me reason to breathe
As if I've been given life just to try to break free
From the crimson walls with pale white bars
Just to be driven into space from the grilles of the cars
Like a crazy diamond, the sun's shining on me
Out here in space with nothing to protect me
I watch as my last remaining breaths turn to ice
Half-mineral, half-animal, a creation of my own device
Andy had a golden worm with green and yellow spots
He loved to watch it eat and eat; it really did eat lots
Then one day it crawled away and fastened to a limb
It shed its pretty golden skin and couldn’t look at him
No more was it a golden worm, but looked like something new
So Andy came back every day to see what it would do
Suddenly it wiggled and it cracked its shell, but why?
Out crawled a brand new animal, a yellow butterfly
Let me free !!
Let me free ……………..
I am an animal , a mother , a child , a wife , a well wisher !
Not to be caged , nor my children ,
Where I belong , is in Nature’s hands ,
Let me free………….
I have a life ! only one ,
Let me enjoy , I have the rights to
To roam in the lush green forest ,
Was my dream come true!!
Let me free ……………I’m a Tigress
Meow!!

A wonderful site to be seen in water oh so grand
As crystal clear comes crashing down, on the rocky waterland
A mist is splattered over all that are near this beautiful site
As they witness the spectacular waterfalls, beauty and its might
The crystal blue wonder that pounds down on the rocks
It often seems to do a dance, then it starts to mock
The natural flow of water now plundering with such force
To let us know the might of this Waterfall on its course
So breathtaking, sitting there, watching the glorious show
Of nature and the water, combining all they know
It speaks to nature just to say I'm here to help you thrive
All of Gods creations, I'll continue to keep you alive
Replenishing the waterhole with its beautiful display
To give a thirsty animal, a drink along the way
God gave this wondrous waterfall the ability to plunder
Down into the waterhole, to combine with natures wonder
So sit and watch this waterfall, enjoy the feeling inside
While witnessing the glorious show, thrashing down with pride
Let its beauty fill your heart with knowledge, peace and truth
Now knowing that the waterfall kept nature in its youth!
After innocent killings,
My soul always cried,
But you never hear me.
Oh, dear God,
Who are you?
Are you human, animal, a bird, plant or insect?
What is your shape?
Are you taller, Thin or thick?
What is your colour?
Are you white, black, brown, Green, Red,
Yellow, orange or pink?
Where do you live?
Do you live in the sky, on the earth or mountain, in the air/ cave,
Or in the ocean?
Modern human travels everywhere,
Over twenty centuries, nobody saw you,
Any where on any place?
How can I see you?
If you are only faith,
That is only human belief,
You touch human soul that is your spirit,
Blessed a person to remove his evilness.
I don’t know how many times?
You touched a human body,
But a devil always killed innocents,
No mercy and forgiveness he practiced or experienced.
Do you know someone?
Who punished only criminals?
Do you know why?
Human never punished criminals,
Because he believes that,
You live nowhere,
Your shape is not existed,
Invisibility is only Darkness.
Nobody can reckon you through darkness.
You are only a shadow,
A shadow of Death,
That is only certain.
