You cannot finish the Book of Life without closing it's chapters. If you go on, you must leave the past as you turn the pages.


The Raven cries in the dark tonight
So lonely and so full of fright
Tormented night and day
By regrets and memories

The Panther prowls in the night
Seeking out a beacon of light
In awe of the lunar shine
Out of reach, out of mind

The Snake slithers in the shadows
Waiting and watching inside of hollows
Listening for clues and whisper sounds
For no one checks if it's around

The Wolf howls to Mother Moon
Far from a any joyful tune
Step into light to see that all is dark
Is enough to extinguish that light-spirited spark

The Owl perches in it's tree
A place where it can clearly see
The Raven whom no one could hear
And the Panther that believes itself mere
The Snake who drowns in low self esteem
And the Wolf who forgot to even believe
The Owl hoots softly into the night
Telling the wind that all will be right


The author's comments:
I wrote this in regards to some of my favorite animals. Everyone picks a favorite animal because of either looks or purpose, but I can see these animals having qualities such as myself. And not all of them are good. I like to think I'm as sneaky as a snake, but some things you hear can really damage your self-image. I hope that people with gather that even though you can feel that no one hears you (Raven) or that you'll never be happy after a big disappointment (Wolf), there are others out there who understand, and they aren't all human.
