Wild Painter's Song of One Color
« on: February 05, 2012, 03:31:33 pm »


Alone
in the crepuscular light,
silently I stalk my chosen goal.
Keenly focused, I demonstrate
how to balance
power with intention;
body, mind and soul.

Confident
I lead because others follow,
not for fame, fellowship, or wealth.
My strength rightly
invokes respect,
though
I may dance past
harmonious and invisible.
a shadow upon the mountain
supple with ghostly stealth.

Hidden
I am alert for any possibility,
ready to ambush my prize.
Jealous of no territory, yet
My chosen boundaries clearly defined.
Senses keen for
manifesting Mysteries
to cache like priceless resources;
Creator's provender
for the endless cat's cradle
of lives intertwined.


Patient,
I counsel that inner work
hones successful instincts.
Leaps of faith are oft required.
Hardships create lessons, and golden opportunities.
Action coupled
with well-grounded intent,
and Ancestral Wisdom kept alive, wisely heeded,
should benefit the World's vast community.

Tawny strength
Depicted in repose
at the feet of Viracocha,
as servant and symbol
of this resplendent physical domain.
When so moved, all secrets are revealed.
I offer a harsh cough of clear warning,
boldly scream my truths to the world,
or simply purr in contentment masterfully obtained.




For those new to the game, each singing poem is inspired by a Teacher found in Nature; a star, stone, plant, animal etc that holds lessons of Wisdom for those who listen. Can you guess who is singing today?
Wishing you laughter

Throwing out Mountain Lion, but I really have no idea. I think it's a cat of some sort, a lone predator at least.

Congrats on being the first to name this powerful Teacher, the Mountain Lion :) Who still holds the record for most names stuck on a single animal species, by the way :) Cougar, puma, mountain lion, catamount, and painter are just a few handles given to this elusive Teacher.
