Analysis of Spirit Guardian

Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)



A horse run's in the field ahead, her mane is golden brown
and her body a snow white
On her back she carries a spirit with her
Her feet pounding against the beaten path, her heart races
She moves forward into the nights sun set
Her determination will not be broken
She must help return his spirit to the wild
It is where he wanted to be when he passed, and that time has come
She gather's near the ledge
The moon rising just over the crest of the mountain
A wolf howls off in the distance
She finally made it, the remourcing can now begin
The dance has started, drums beating in the distance
An eagle soars in the distance squaking ( kak-kak-kak)
His spirit has been set free
Finally
Peace, Tranquillity, Remource, Definition
And a New Life
