I am the moon,
Illuminating the sky,
Yet misunderstood.
But those who know the truth I guide
Through the darkness and to The Path.

I am the night,
Dark and mysterious,
Terrifying and wondrous at the same time.
Covering those who wish to hide
From the bright glare of daylight.

I am the forest,
Green and protective.
Guardian of those who seek refuge in
The shade of my trees lulling travelers
To sleep.

I am the panther,
Fierce and strong.
Nocturnal huntress and a shadow.
Among many: feared and hunted,
Yet I live still.

I am human,
Clumsy yet intelligent.
Admiring the beauty of
The moon, night, forest, and panther.
I am all five.
