Woman of the Meskwaki tribe

They called you Old Fox Woman

Was it because of your shifting ways

your knowledge of things

between worlds

Your ability to charm your prey?

Or was it because you were invisible?

 I speak to fox that has visited me

knowing that now he straddles two worlds no more

but frolics in the better

no more dusk and dawn

I mourn for you my guide

knowing that one time you looked like the proud fox

not the sick old wearied one that stayed a while

I have searched for your message until it came

you left it as you crossed over

Once a snake came into my life

on the steps of a classroom

not once but three times,even shedding his skin

and I asked an Indian woman who was there.. what did it mean

and she asked

It came to you 3 times in one day?

Yes..

It is powerful message of transformation

and it was

and now you have come into my life

as yours was ending and I was honored

I never feared you so close

but was stirred with compassion

believing you were here for a reason

I like to think of you now

healthy and running free

charming your way on the other side

you and Old Fox Woman
