Totems

"Totems"



Slow down if you can
I am
         the turtle, on a mission to protect
I teach endurance and perseverance
Be steady if you can
The turtle, I am.

Be playful if you can
I am
         the dolphin, free and graceful
I dance with passion and joy
Create if you can
The dolphin, I am.

Move forward if you can
I am
         the bison, grateful and grounded
I personify strength and power
Share your abundance if you can
The bison, I am.

Pay attention if you can
I am
         the dog, trustworthy and devoted
I play and make you laugh
Be a friend if you can
The dog, I am.

Catch me if you can
I am
         the dragonfly, in flight of dreams
Hold me in your hand and believe
Be gentle if you can
The dragonfly, I am.
