Spirit Animal

Spirit Animal
i am a ram
	sure of foot
	faster than thought
	at home on these desolate cliffs
		far from the reach
		the torturous touch
			of man
i climb higher
	wiser than my brothers ... sisters
		knowing the danger
		of the two legged animal
			called human
the wind carries his scent
	i climb higher still
		till i touch the clouds
		proud ... fearless
a crack like thunder
	a brother falls
		i cry to father sky
		as mother earth absorbs his life essence
no turning back
no response from father sky
	it is as it is
		nothing more
great spirit ... hold your child
