Little Creatures


So your animal spirit guide

is a panther? A bison? A bear?

Mighty powers, my friend!

How often, on a Winter morning,

do they come to your window?

I prefer the wisdom of little creatures.

My totem is a hummingbird.

Her wings instruct me to discover

the highest vibration in stillness.

Her delicate bill invites me

to sip and get tipsy

on the amrit in my chest.

Once I believed in my thoughts.

I could not escape from the kingdom of fear.

Then this tiny turquoise thing of air

shattered the ampule of my wound fragrance.

Somewhere in these petals of fire

there is nectar for the one

who is not afraid of drowning.

She taught me to perish with every breath,

and live in eternity.
