The Animals of the World are Your Teachers

 Goal Oriented

We lope, we amble

We walk carefully, conserving our energy as we go

For as many of you may know, we can be slow, we can move more quickly

For we are goal oriented

There are times we are inclined, to move solo, there are times we are inclined, to move as a team

It would seem, different situations prepare us, for that

Where is Our Prey

We are here to say, we listen intently to every vibration

We might say, hey where is our prey today

We look for evidence, we look for presence

And we look for places some may stay, some may lay their head

For we look for patterns, we look for angles

The patterns in the footprints, the patterns where you lay

Today is the Day

We sniff the air and then we say, today is the day

We wait for the moment, we wait for the time

For we are inclined, to learn from our mistakes 

For in order for us to undertake a life beyond survival mode, we must

Must what you may ask

Stages of Learning

Must learn from our mistakes 

Our mistakes are just that stages of learning, trial and error

Some of us are old, some of us are wise

Some of us, jump at any surprise 

Some of us watch from the background, survey the scene 

Appear Serene

Some of us appear serene, but those are the ones you watch for 

For when they see an opening, when they see it’s time to go

They go, like a bullet, like a blast

It is cast in their nature

When they need to be calm, quiet and reserved, they are 

When they need to capture the prize, when they need to be on point, we always anoint them, for they do not disappoint 

Role to Play

We the Coyotes of the Land want you to understand, we have a role to play

Some of you who encroach on our habitat, say just the opposite

We need to go; you need to show us the door

More in Charge than You Know 

We the Coyotes of the Land want you to understand, we have nothing against you, all we want you to learn about is, we are adaptable, we can change our ways 

As in we will tend to stay, perhaps not where you’ve seen us before 

But we are here to suggest to you, if you leave us an opening, if you leave down your guard, we are here to suggest to you, we are more in charge, than you think we are 

Here First

We the Coyotes of the Land want you to understand, we can live together, knowing our place

But we are here to say to you, on the face of it, we were here first

You seem to think that we encroach on your territory, you are sorrowfully mistaken, it’s the other way round 

Some of you hear our sound and shiver in terror 

We on the other hand, understand your vibrations, know what they mean

As in we have been seen, you know of our presence

Wary of You

In essence we are aware of you, but we are not scared of you, we are wary of you

As in we do not trust you

There is a reason for that

But we have learned to adapt, we have learned to morph and change 

Can you say the same 

Have you had to change your habitat, have you had to change your ways

Have we flushed you out, have we been on your doorstep

Can you accept your intrusion on us

Prepare and Adapt 

If we are to call a truce, all we suggest of you, is prepare and adapt

We are not saying this to scare you, not at all

We are here to call on you to have some understanding, to see a new way

For we will survive 

As survivors, we will adapt

Looking to Survive 

The voices on the wind, are heard by us

We see your footprints, we know your aromas

Do we look for you, no

Do we show ourselves in your presence

Sometimes, in essence we are looking to survive

And in essence if there is something nearby, that is small a reasonable size, we will see it through our eyes, as food

We are not here to scare you, we are not here to frighten you away

What is Our Intention

We are here just to say, consider our size

What is in our eyes, what is our intention

We may live around you, but that does not mean we are tamed 

We are wild, not to be understood by you

We are not your pet; we are not something to be fixed 

We like our life, the way it is 

Nuisance

You may see us as a nuisance, you may see us as a pest

But we attest, we are families trying to survive 

And survive we will, some near the top of the hill, some down in the valley, some in the forests, some on the plains

We want to explain, as you move in, we move elsewhere 

But we are here to share with you, we don’t go far

We stay a safe distance, so we can leave when we can

 Do you understand

Watch and Learn

The Coyotes of the Land are adaptable, the Coyotes of the Land will survive 

Perhaps we can teach you a thing or two

Watch and learn

For we the Coyotes of the Land want you to understand, if you give yourself the time, if you wait for a moment, and watch and observe and learn, you might see us differently, you might see us in a new light 

In spite of your fears, in spite of your immediate reactions, your eyes may seem to be attracted, by the scene you see

For as you observe us, a new reality will wash over thee

For you will start to see a different reality, beyond the reality you thought you knew

Are You Ready to be a Student

Like all animals across the Land, we want you to understand, we too can be teachers 

Are you ready to be a student, are you ready to open your eyes

Surprise, surprise, what do you see before your eyes 

Are you able to summarize, are you able to see

Or do you just see through the reality that you have been taught, or have you been brought to see more than that, to see beyond your learning

We yearn to be understood

When You Moved in

We the Coyotes of the Land would like to understand, when does a pest become a pest, when did we become so unpopular

Could it be when you moved in

Is that the reality that we see

Are we on an equal footing, or do you think you have the upper hand

Are you Land based, do you believe in give and take

Or do you just believe take, take, take, what ever is in your wake

No More Left to Take

What happens when there is no more left to take

Will there be anything left for you to make your own, in your own zone or will you be all alone

The Animals of the World are your teachers

Are you ready to listen, are you ready to learn

Or do you just place a berm around your house, and hope we will all disappear

Share Your Habitat

We the Coyotes of the Land want you to understand, as you attempt to create your own reality so do we

But we know of thee, we know of your patterns 

And be well aware we will share in your habitat, we will share in your air

So, let’s declare a meeting of the minds, a meeting of the Souls

Let’s make it both our goal, to learn from each other 

Sound Out 

For as survivors, we are here to say we could teach you much

We howl in the night, we whip, we yip

We sound out to our brothers and sisters, we sound out to our prey

And on certain days, we also get signaled by certain birds

And did it occur to you that many species work together 

For we too communicate through over great distances

This is not through the use of an electronic device, not at all

We call each other Telepathically; we leave our Signature Footprint behind

Team Effort

We are inclined to be in contact with many species, during the day

And you probably say, get real, where is your evidence

We the Coyotes of the Land want you to understand, our survival is not just because of us 

It’s a team effort, there is much in the works

So, if you humans think you’re on top of everything, think you have the last say

We are here to say, think again

She is a Medium

The Land speaks, we listen

She is a Transition Device

As in she carries Vibrational Energies through

She is the Medium; she is the go-to

So, you may see us as mere Coyotes, you may see us as total pests, but we attest to you, there is more to us than you see, there is more to us than you know, there is more to us than you can possibly dream of 

So, we are not about to go, we will stay

And if you say hey, we’re moving again into your territory, we too will move, but not far from you

A Lesson or Two

Whisper, whisper, in your ear, we are here 

We haven’t left, we are nearby

You may not spy us, but we’re around

And we hear of your sound, we know that you too are around 

Blessed be what we see, blessed be what we know 

We are here to show you a lesson or two, are you ready to learn
