Animal Spirit

Black,

Like the night,

Slick,

As a panther,

Smart,

As a raven,

I saw it and it saw me,

Wings to take flight if it will,

A call to cry slightly shrill,

A time and a place I've not yet known,

And somewhere soon I will need to go,

Take flight earthen crow,

To the sky above our heads,

And it is there that I will meet you,

It is there I will follow,

Our journey slightly twisting,

Into undergrowth,

And evergreens,

But we will be,

You the crow,

And silly 'ol me
