Snake in the sky

a meditation

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colors of sunshine

take me to the depths

negativity spirals

away from the self

drawn to the center

of a slow rotating sun

 

rotation slows

clouds of red smoke

surround me

presence of another being felt

standing behind me

blows puffs of smoke

engulfs me in a cloud

spiral reappears

draws the smoke away

into a funnel

balance found

 

faint sound

rattlesnake tail

spiral transforms into a coiled snake

head in center darkness

recognize pattern on its belly

same pattern that sent me

to inner realms

the great rattlesnake

leads the way

to inner depths

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Found my way deeper within

snake image formed

transformed

into the shape of an eye

 

vision turned dark

sounds heard clearly

dream memory from last night

coyote speaking "hair naught"

as it looked in my eyes

 

darkness surrounds

whispered words

hold magic

sphere of darkness grows

self expanding

sense the presence of others

 

eyes open

body still frozen

unable to move

fingers toes twitch

open eyes still meditating

slowly body awakens

I have no idea what your writing was about,
but since it is not familiar to me it was probably
something riske`
Although I don`t read good, I can only guess that
your writing is top stuff. Probably even class act.
Forgive this terrible review. You deserve better
because you have written with talent and imagination.
Thank you,

Oh, this is a living, breathing movement of words and whispers. There is the path circling.. the journey into the center... the heart and mind revealed at each pass. A work of art...

DD, your work always transcends me and I am loving the meditation writes :) You are on a journey sweet :)
Mwah!

I love the way you weave your words into the shapes that your imagination also creates with such artistic flair... Here we felt we had connected with the mystery of Nature, that so often inspires you and stirs your soul...

Brilliant shapes and colours, a wondrous guide to what you sense in the light of where you are. Fortunate you who seeks a start and a finish, a night and day - all opposities with meaning rather than comparison. The shapes and their would-be meanings are your or our own interpretations perhaps, just as we see life by dint of how we exist in reality and dreams.

Beautiful poem...love the descriptions very engaging and felt.

Sometimes we have to shed our skin, figuratively of coarse. Meaning as we grow as an individual we let go of old ideas and embrace new concepts. Brilliant poem.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

you pulled me right through into the meditative aura by way of words coiled beautifully in deep tantric patterns~ spiritually sensual writing here~

[mark slade]
