Humans are mortal, flawed and bright,
Animals beast, instinctual and light.

The other roams, in natural space.

Animals wild, under the sky.

The other thrives, across the land.

Animals instinct, often sweet.
One survives with a curious mind,
The other lives, a primal kind.

The other roams, across the land.

Animals instinct, a primal sight.
One reasons with a thoughtful grace,
The other follows, nature's trace.

Kindred Spirits:

Animals, in nature's scheme.

Animals play their instinct's parts.

In their balance, life's affair.

In their dance, all life's the same.
