Hidden Spirits

Oneness of spirit
  wraps its arms
    around the farm

as sand within a shell
  spawns a pearl

and

geode leaches light
  in a dark tomb

many

heart whispered secrets
  in animals

feed the full spirit
  with knowing.

Feathered, furred
  soft and brawny

sharp hoofed
  spindle clawed

chance animal ignorance
  belying a deep wisdom.
