The Peace of Animals

One day
I'll be a bird
who views the land from the flowing clouds
with the wind as my dearest friend
and my songs the only words I ever speak

One day
I'll be a bear
who feels the land with every step
as it whispers the story of the ages
and I'll belong to that earth I walk upon

One day
I'll be a seal
who moves through the frozen sea
laughing, playing, and eating fish
at peace with what lies above and below
