I am Rattlesnake.  I am a warning of danger--of the unknown.

          I am Rattlesnake.  Startled, I uncoil my noise.  I release my fear through sound.

          I am Rattlesnake.  My sound is fear seeking understanding.  Is the source of fear real or illusion?  Must I defend myself or may we each go our way?

          I am Rattlesnake.  I am warning.  I am afraid.  I do not seek to fight.  I seek Harmony.  I seek release from fear.

          I am Rattlesnake.  Heed my warning.  Do not give in to your own fear.  Seek to understand your fear.  Seek Harmony.
