The Spirit Of Nature (2000)

Oh kindred spirit
you soar so high
above the mountains
up there in the sky
so stately and proud
but your numbers are few
what has this creature
know as man done to you
soon my spirit will glide
on the waves toward heavens way
and like you I will touch the rim
of eternity
beyond the clouds each day
I'll look to you my brother
and in you my earthly spirit still dwells
along with the bear and the deer
and the coyote as well.
