“The Wise Manta”, from “Wild Writers: The Animal World’s Greatest Poets”
Jet-black wing-shaped fins
Give this manta strength to fly
Above the water
As king of the proudest fish
That reign over Earth
In trust with nature.
My charisma glides
Like a marlin pursuing
A frightened tuna.
The mighty know not to breach,
For only I can teach
Radiance and confidence
To the landlubbers.
Twenty-foot-wide wings soar high
Like an albatross,
Effortlessly on the search
For fun filter food.
Every day of life excites me,
As adventures go.
That is the purpose of Life.
I pray we cross paths,
For the world is too special
To battle and war
Over things that do not matter.
Aim for the Heavens,
Shoot for the only the true best
Since you deserve joy.
So, take each day as it comes;
The present as the
Focus. You will do great things
If you seize the day.
Why dwell on bad, sad, dark things?
All you need is light
To float like a frigate bird
And love the currents.
Give that Love freely;
You might just discover new
Friends in enemies,
Peace forged from your deepest woes.
These lessons built me
Into the Ruler of Great Fish.
My wings are the sails
Of prowess in air and sea.
They serve me always.
Our time is running out; leave
I must. Charisma
Wakes when you need it most.
All songs are the same
But Grace is unique, blessed,
The Guide of Life’s Flow.
My mantras are yours now.
Share them – here you go!
