Reincarnation

By Tree Hugger

Once I was a river,
That ran through a great forest,
Until I fell off a cliff side
Into a pond below,

Then I became a pond,
One who let thirsty ponies, 
Drink my water,
And allowed small fish,
To make their homes inside of me,

But when the sun dried me up,
I turned into a thick mist,
That watered a nearby tree,

And then I became a tree,
One that gave shade and oxygen, 
To weary travelers,
And grew fruit on its branches,
To feed all of the hungry ponies, 
Who happened to pass by,

But one day I was cut down
And I fell upon a tiny fox,

And then I became a fox,
One who was sly and quick, 
And also a master thief;
No one could run faster than me,

But one day a monster,
Hunted me for my fur,
And my spirit went, 
Into a little pony,

Who was connected with nature,
And now our spirits 
Live together in harmony.
