Another Life

Reincarnate as a songbird
be part of a flock
eat
    seed
           and sing
RUN OUT OF HABITAT

Live once again as Great Northern Moose
walk along nature's trails
pose
        for
            people
USING CAMERAS NOT GUNS

Come back as a Rainbow Trout
swim wild rivers
species
           invade
                    waterways
MERCURY AND ACID RAIN

Return as a Snowshoe Hare
brown when it is green
white when bushes are bare

Life anew as a White Pine
Evergreen spire majestic
Cut down
     in
        numbers
A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

Even though I'm an Honorable Apache and Navajo, they know and understand I don't believe in all American I ndian beliefs like reincarnation as an Aunt of mine does. I loved this an I used to hunt for food. I ate the heart first after giving thanks to the animal for giving it's life so I could live and Great Spirit God for putting it on Earth for food. A wonderful meaningful write,to be appreciated. Sam.

You will as God has prepared a new Earth. Our eternal Earth of beauty and filled with love. Be assured of that. I know this as fact. Peace from the Dove above,,,Sam
