Crackling, the fire grows.
Clouds of smoke suspend.
An animal appears.
Everlasting stories
pass down from generations.

A deer emerges through the smoke.
It sprints forward.
Kind hearted yet strong,
graceful and innocent,
the image disintegrates.

A bear emerges through the smoke.
It wanders.
Courageous and confident,
a leader in the animal kingdom,
the image disintegrates.

A hawk emerges through the smoke.
It soars, precisely.
Carrying messages throughout the spirit world,
with focus and clear vision,
the image disintegrates.

The smoke swirls,
twisting through the air,
reaching the moon and the stars.
The embers blacken,
the images disintegrate.
