The Snow Leopard's Prayer

The snow leopard’s soul from nature sings
Man, take care of the little things
The snow leopard’s heart from heaven calls
Man, take care lest nature spoils
Rest inside the ancient law
respect for all is at the fore
At one with all the living things
in love and peace with all living things
Deep inside the Tracker’s rib
I saw the leopard as eternal,
as immortal spirit breathing
Fur so white and teeth so gleaming
resolving all through heaven’s love
The snow leopard’s soul…
Holy light in living temple
Timeless soul you are beloved
Heart enshrined in snowcaps dreaming
Noble is the leopard sleeping
Now sleeping close to heaven’s gate
The snow leopard’s soul…
