The Year of the Snake

 


In a beautiful daze, 


Rested upon the shallows edging an ultimate depth


Many times bathed in, swam across, and where I was born. 


Phased between a long dreamland, and waking and walking in alpha state, 


Not yet phased at all by the coffee 

Or the slipping sun as I arise. 


Not yet greeted, the incoming new year...

  but getting to it. 


Candles lit. 

  Mode ticking. 

Dazed. Not yet lucid. 

Sitting most marvelously 


Upon the shallows, edging the depth. 


I suspect, Spirit has tempered me. 


As I lay more and more 

  Day by day 


In such a halved lucid state, 

That the attachments release, 


With no clinging. 


A washing away. 


I had cried and struggled against. 

I had pounded a heaving heart and chest, with flailing limbs 

I had damned the heavens for what they bestowed on me; these burdens this life...


But in return, 


When I was quiet....


When I finally found a slight internal place of peace...


They told me why. 


That I, 

  Afterall, 


Was the one who could alchemize such a wretched rot. 


That I was the one, 

  Who could make the poison 


A spiritual journey. 


So maybe this Wood Rat, might afterall, 

  Find her way, 

   Around the snake. 


and though a formidable foe, 

  Divine Protection 

     is no match for the Stars. 


In this dreamland, 

  I was the first to reach Buddha...clever and as the story is notoriously told. 


and it is by no mistake either 


That I am the Divination 

                                       Of The Star XVII. 


They are body temples...

  But I am The Light. 


Understanding incarnation 

  Can not keep us caged at night. 


Day walking in the shallows, 

Depth walking in the Night...


Restored by the waters of deep, 

  and anchoring on shore, once more

Another Day 

         Of our might. 


Another day, we enforce this light


Another day, 

  We imbue. 

  

A spirit perhaps of Fire. 

 But a fire 

  Of a 

Different Kind. 


A primordial flame. 

A Blue Magic. 


A kiss of 

  And from 


The Greatest of Depths. 


We indeed, 

  A much 


Different 

         Kind.
