[b]I wear this skin and make it mine,
transforming into this creatures’ design.
Raven, wolf or the mighty bear,
of its abilities I become heir.
The choice of animal is limitless,
a need defines what I select.
The change is painful and slow,
inherent power you never outgrow.
Many fear and deem it witchery,
the true nature is ablutionary.
Much misunderstood and maligned,
I maintain a solitary confine.
Supernatural, our power is taboo,
to speak of us will condemn you too.
It is believed we kill a family member
thus acquiring our potential full power,
unknown, an elder chooses when to pass on the gift,
we just release their soul so into infinity it can drift.
We are nature’s guardians, unseen,
protecting her in times of great need,
for man has become abusive
in his selfish and thoughtless ways,
he takes without replacing,
forsaking the wisdom of the old days.
Beware, sons of Adam and daughters of Eve,
of this warning you must take heed:
the day will come when nature will call
upon all her guardians, both great and small,
that includes pestilence and disease,
obliterating you and all your havoc creating seed.

The world is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used. And all men are ready to pass judgement on the priest as if he was not a being clothed with flesh, or one who inherited a human nature. Their is only one judge.

Yes my friend we are ever changing, learning, relearning and adapt or perish. But most of all we are product of our environment and of nature.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my piece.

Transmit a striking image to the pagan cult.
Toward the earth and nature. Both are females, as they give life.
Nature has never stopped sending warnings.
But humanity does not seem to understand.
I really like.

Oh my dear Luca they understand, but choose to underestimate and /or think they can control nature with technology; That will the undoing, for nature is not to be tamed by any creature. It is the giver of life but also the TAKER as it must be to maintain the balance.
Thank you for the comment.

It is balance that allows us to walk through the fires or waters and not be consumed.
You write with vivid imagary, giving us snapshots that reveal the soul beyond mere words.

You know Mr. Ken, I get lots of comments as we all do but, sometimes we get a comment that really touches us, this one is one of those. To say thank you is not enough but none the less thank you for seeing more than just words.
