Words written in paper
Flowing like blood from my knife's cut
Death welcomes me into her arms
Crow's calls whisper in my ears
Wolf cries to our sister moon
Snake hissing his life to my heart
I sit in a tree with Owl as we hoot our impression
Eagle circles me with Blader's words on his wings
Mother turtle showing me my path into the earth
In this Shaman's sight the world awaits me
Another hand full of herbs
The fire roars to life
Closed eyes, I stand tall
Joined as one with the earth, and her mate the sky
As Lynx's and I stand watching
As armadillo shows me the tricks of protection
I sing with dolphin as she shows me life's force
As antelope tells me to speak truth
As mouse and I look at both the big and small
In this shaman's sight
These lessons I have learned
And now travel the circle to learn the grace of swan
