THE SERPENT’S TALE

Wind your way around my body,
Slither up and down my spine;
Join with me on every level,
Let us share the dance of time.

Dream with me down through the ages,
Watch now as the truth appears.
Walk the paths of Light and Darkness
As we slip back through the years.

Taste the poison life has offered,
Hidden in your veil of tears.
Yes, my fangs have caused you sorrow;
Teaching you to face your fears.

Wisdom comes to those with courage,
Sometimes truth can bring great pain.
Though it seems you lost some treasure,
Take a look at what you’ll gain.

Some would say it’s in the journey,
Others long to reach their goal.
Each of us is individual…
Though we share a loving soul.

So please no longer fear my venom
For I am here to serve your will.
I am in truth your own creation;
Your dreams and visions I fulfil.
