Medicine Tree

Written to accompany this artwork

Medicine Tree belongs to the following groups:

Masterpieces: Literary Workshop and WMG

This standing being once rooted deep in the Earth
the rivers’ waters ran high, uprooted her for rebirth

A magical aura surrounds her form, in remains
as she respectfully identifies our humble domain

At her base sits the medicine and strength of the Bear
whose introspective instinct fares none to compare

Great Horned Owl, the largest of all night birds
guarding with discernment and outsmarting the absurd

Enduring Elk supports our stamina and health
reminding us our persistence and hope brings wealth

Our four-legged teachers, like the wise old wolf
taught us new paths and options, as the old were engulfed

Secretive Bobcat, in her stillness, does silently watch
honoring mindfulness, with no dogma to debauch

The great Buffalo reminds us scarcity is based upon fear
to be released and make way for abundance is made quite clear

Atop the embodiment of Spirit, as the Eagle does soar
the freedom of oneness and connecting without keeping score

Owl in the Moon oversees winds of ever-present change
whilst the realm of our ancestors broaden their range

Clawed, winged, finned and even those who crawl
are akin upon Earth, as I avow never to intentionally maul

As one score has passed, opening this brethrens’ door
to these medicine creatures, I gratefully accept much more than folklore.
