White Spirit
Beneath the golden sun, the warrior walked the plain,
where ancient winds remembered every name.
Beside him stood the white buffalo, calm and wise,
a sacred guardian beneath the endless skies.
The elders once told of the first great dawn,
when the buffalo taught the people to carry on.
“Protect the earth, for the earth protects you,
respect the water, the mountains, and the blue.”
His shield held stories of those before,
his heart held songs from the ancient shore.
He walked not for glory, not for pride,
but with his ancestors walking by his side.
The buffalo whispered through the golden field:
“True warriors heal the world they shield.”
For the strongest spirit is not the one who takes—
but the one who protects the life that remains.
