Spirit

Sense organs

Amina in Arabic

Safe one, honest, faithful

Lamina, a leaf blade

Capturing the light

Which ever way you look at them

Anima and Animal

Natural

Human

Bound and grounded together

Mystical and physical

Remember that

Next time you feel the urge

To surpress your urge to howl
