At Bones' House

At Bones' house

            he has two silks

hanging from the ceiling

and also

            he has a trapeze

I get to hang

                        up side down

                                    on the trapeze

            and on the silks

I get to climb to the top

            of the silks

and ring a bell

            on the top of the ceiling

One After Another

My soul is an eagle soaring

through the air, he flies above

the windy ocean. My heart is

a dog barking at the eagle

in my soul. My spirit is a tiger

chasing the dog in my heart.

Maybe

Maybe my soul is a dolphin

                                    splashing and diving

Maybe my soul is a deer

                                    leaping through the trees

Maybe my soul is a black and white and orange

            feathered toucan

                        with great giant wings and a beak

Maybe my soul is a little bundle of fear

            with little floppy ears

                        and a little black nose and a tail

Maybe my soul dreams about fish

                                    twisting and turning by rocks

Maybe my soul dreams about a yellow blanket

                                    of daisies in a meadow

Maybe my soul moves like a stream

                        finding its way to

            another world

                        but I know that my soul is loving

My Soft Spirit

My spirit is a soft fluffy

tailed creature, it prances and leaps

from branch to branch of a tree,

it's small but feels powerful inside.

My spirit is seen in the woods,

gathering acorns.  

My spirit dreams about spring.

It smells of the foresty trees.

Fire Eagle

My heart is a fire eagle

flying into the world

hot as the sun

the biggest eagle in the world

flying into the volcano

My heart lives in the center

of the fire
