I crossed my legs and sat Listening to the silver fox Our shadows stretching in the moonlight It's easier at night, he said The shadows like to play and dance It's how I came to know them I've been the predator and I've been the prey Both left me pondering what the stars say Do they pity the mouse who lives to die? Or praise the man who dominates everything but his life? he asked I wouldn't know, I've seen the mouse and I've lived a human life, I said And now you aren't satisfied? he asked I nodded He chuckled with gleaming whites and said, Like the shadows It's an illusion you've lived This is why we sit in the four winds Each blows, saying it's time to grow You're pulled all ways But your mind has yet to let go Release what you think yourself to be And we'll begin the journey into the untold First we'll roam, There is a forest with haunted souls Several are calling you home.
The Talking Fox pt.1 A fox spoke to me last night I thought myself insane His bushy silver tail stood ***** As he gazed at me with bright eyes I ought to run, But you are of no harm, he said I nodded, stunned He chuckled and asked if I had never talked to a fox before That would be ludicrous, I said He shook his head and his muzzle bared the finest smile Oh my lady, we foxes do speak We are not as well heard as the wolves Or as majestic as the owl And we pale in comparison to the cougar But we do speak Tonight you've come to hear I think I've been waiting a long time For you to listen I've come before but all you heard was a fox Now sit and listen to my tale I'm Keeper of the Winds And it's time you learned about the storm within.
