#poem

The land spirits talk to me They tell me stories of a time before I came to be Of how life was before the dark clouds came Before our magick was stolen and stripped away I sit with the land spirits Deep inside the misty woods They share their secrets and mysteries too And they teach me how to see the real truth They open my heart and I can see it filled with stars I open my eyes And they show me a map to where it all began They give me a key to a door that leads to the infinite sea The land spirits help unleash the powers That have always been inside of me Lovely land spirits They guide my every day They protect and they love, filling my soul with hopes With the mind of the owl and the strength of the hawk

Dancer/Poem: Noemi Capote

This collaboration started as an idea to tap into our animal instincts through our movements. This dance and poem are our sweet declaration that we are one with nature, setting free the animal within.

Within me flows the river of life
I am the feathers on the Eagle
I am the breath of the Lion
The heart of the Crow

In me, the Snake finds refuge
Under my arms, the Finch is free

Look into my cat-looking eyes
You will see your soul unveiled
In the depths of my mind
You will find the wisdom of the Owl
My voice is the Tiger’s roar

Can you hear it?
Can you sense it all?

Can you feel the animal within?

Setting free

The Animal Within

As the river flowing into the sea- alive in wonder
I breathe
Water coursing through my veins
I am the healer, the dancer, the wolf- howling amid midnight rain.
For there beneath a pale silver moon
Illuminated upon gossamer wings 
The butterfly hums a silent tune
Her dragon spirit yet to reign
She embraces it all…
The Animal spirit within
