The Ancient Prophet - The Crow
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
With eyes so keen, and wings of night
I court the world with fancied flight
I am often chastised as a pest
By those who cannot see my best
I travel through both space and time
of legends, mystics, and the divine
I understand more than you know
But many see me as "just a Crow"
I have perched with Wizards, Witches, and Kings
My caw is heard with rapturous rings
My cloak is sleek, and black as night
I can disappear, or be outright
A marvelous magician of many a trick
I never reveal what makes me tick
I am often confused as friend or foe
But dearest one, did you not know?
I am so much more, than "just a Crow"
Poem Copyright Jessica Buturla Hunter
The Warrior
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
Standing strong, in the face of fears
Holding the light, among all the tears
Honoring the wisdom to do what is right
With the balance of silence, and the balance of fight
When broken and weary, the knowledge of trust
With strength of the Spirit, to do what they must
Facing all odds, even when most betrayed
To stand in their power, when all is dismayed
Rising with heart, and formidable soul
On behalf of justice, and behalf of the whole
Often feared, rejected, and misunderstood
A Warrior walks among evil and good
Born with resilience, that cannot be bought
That can only be molded, by the path that is sought
A Warrior rises, and knows when to fall
And never gives up, in despite of it all
Walking the lines, on their own lonely trail
Taking knowledge from “win,” and knowledge from “fail”
A Warrior’s soul, is seen in their eyes
As they stand in the fires, of both Truth and Lies
When knocked to the ground, in hopeless defeat
Their Spirit, their Soul, - cries, “Rise, on your feet.”

The Lone Coyote
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
I cross your path with laughs and grins
and a little bit of shenanigans
I am often labeled as the Fool
or Trickster, depending on the rule
My howl is heard from miles away
yet no one gives me time of day
For they fear my Medicine has no luck
as perception of "Trickster" is often stuck
But if you gaze into my eyes, you just may get a peek
of something that is often missed, and ever so unique
For what you perceive in appearance
is not always case at hand
One cannot judge the Lone Coyote
until they understand

The Cat – The Regal
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
With soulful eyes, and purposeful walk
I carry my grace in body and talk
My Spirit conveys my emotions and stance
If you think you can rule me, you have no chance
I do not follow other's rules, I have my very own
For I am of the regal, and I have sat on the throne
With Deities of Egypt, far back in ancient time
Who revered me with Gold and gifts, as I am of the divine
I may give you some attention, I may walk away in strife
But If you show me true respect, I will honor you for life
Do not assume I am like a Dog, I will have nothing with that
For I am ruled by sacred Bastet, I am the regal Cat

The Mighty Transformer - The Snake
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
Slinking along the belly of the Mother
I emanate power unlike any other
Winding through deserts, and twisting through trees
I uplift the Spirit, or command it to freeze
My tongue is forked, and can speak both ways
I have wandered through chapters of times, and of days
My magic is sacred, I grant visions to see
there is more to what is, as Transforming can be
With scales and fangs I am revered, and respected with my right
by those in the kingdom of Nature, who are wise to see my light

The Standing Soul - The Tree
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
My feet are buried beneath the earth, my arms reach towards the skies
standing in silence, formidable strength, I witness truth and lies
Sheltering those who come to me, and speaking to those who see
I stand alone or in a crowd, I am the sacred Tree
A bridge between the Upper World, and the Lower World below
a traveler finds a Journey here, in any path they go
My songs are heard upon the wind, or through a feathered friend
who rests upon my gentle boughs, and chants without an end
My trunk does hold a sea of tears, of humans who have cried
the rings inside my hearty core, hold Nations who have died
I am a solid witness, of what has been, and will be
for I am of the Standing Souls, I am the sacred Tree.

The Bones of the Mother - The Stones
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
Born of the Mother, in pieces we lay
in colors of night, and brightness of day
We hold a wisdom, and stories of Earth
the Spirits inside us, have relevant worth
For we too have life, although we are still
never saying a word, without our free will
On top of a mountain, or deep in the ground
we frame the Earth, and memories profound
When you hold us, or see us as "Stones"
Remember our Mother - for we are her Bones

A Rainbow in the Darkness - Aurora Borealis
Written by Jessica Buturla Hunter
A rainbow in the darkness, a light that shines above
I am a sacred mystery of the wonders, dreams, and love
I shine in times of darkness, with colors all aglow
that carry sacred wisdom, that the Elders often know
For I am nature's kaleidoscope, with lights in many arrays
displayed in the depths of darkness, and absent from light of days
I am the Aurora Borealis, and my magic is quite the sight
For I am the light of the fire of Sun, among the Stars at night.
