Cougyote
/ küg • yo • tee /
I move like mist on mountain stone,
With cougar’s strength and coyote’s tone.
Where desert meets the pinewood height,
I walk the edge of day and night.
But find me once, your spirit’s set—
An epic path is your next step.
My cry is wild, my stride is free,
Adventure calls me Cougyote.
