He hides in the shadows,
Trickster,
Bringer of madness,
Shape changer,
His ego makes him laugh out loud,
He hands you dreams,
Then takes them away,
His game a mystery,
As is his name,
But his tales are told,
By the very old,
Trickster they say,
A demon in disguise,
Lies on his lips,
He blinds your eyes,
To the truth and beauty,
All around you,
Takes your soul,
Giving nothing in return...
See him with an old woman’s eyes,
See his ragged coat,
See through his sweet disguise-
Do not believe his promises,
Excellent work, Retta. Native American folklore is fascinating, with so many truths to ponder. You've captured an aspect of Coyote, the trickster succinctly and well.

Deer What can I say. In all walks of life tricksters can be found. I grieve with you

But Retta, you forget the trickster is also the ultimate teacher! His wisdom is ageless and although he may also be a shape-shifter and sometimes evil, he teaches valuable lessons without which we'd be as lost as the majority of folks.
