    Serpent

    Snake sister, slither through
    Show your fangs and strike the truth
    Bring the glory, bring the pain
    Bring the Spring in sheets of rain
    Show me changes, shed your skin
    Terrified, let's look within
    Scales like armor hide your heart
    So now lets rip the shroud apart
    Split your seams, take me down
    The dark enfolding gathers ‘round
    Swallowed whole I’ll lose my mind
    A whole new spirit I shall find

    Coiled serpent, spiral wheeling
    Into my heart the future stealing
    My soul, the world, the cosmos reeling
    In joyous rapture see me kneeling

    Another awesome piece! I've been rereading works by Poe, and the rhythm of this piece is very much like his stuff. Great imagrey as well.

    The Winding of the Ourobouros within the Ouroboros; our Shadow Puppet Play of Sparks in the Dark. Lifting the Slime Loathsome into the Light and Beholding the Transformation. This is the Essence of the Beauty Unseen.

    Thanks. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), I saw a snake today. Two, actually. I take it as a good omen. :)
