GIFT FROM SNAKE SPIRIT
Snakes go travelling on this ground
Listen now Starchild to what I have found.
I was at a friend house to work with their land
Just offering my help to saw wook, give a hand.
And in that place there were so many leaves
and the Charlotte said to my sorrow and grief :
" since I have the children, aged two and four,
I must get rid of the snakes, I don´t want them no more.
When you see a snake, you should kill it right there."
"- No!" I said straight out, this I can not hear.
Well, we started out to get rid of all leaves
it got to be a lot I tell you, and I still felt grief.
She had seen the snakes my friend Charlotte said.
They live in the leaves, and sure enough. That´s where they
laid.
So I took a box made of paper with me
and lifted that snake up. It was doomed You see.
Then I travelled it off to the forest deep.
and sent it pictures that it in there should keep
if not to be killed by Charlottes dear man
to prevent the children to pickthem up, as they can.
A rescue mission it felt in my mind
so I was not really surprised when the next day I find
sadly but natural a snake that was dead
in the street where I cycled. It went through my head :
"- I saved one snake. Here I find one flat as a stone.
I picked it up, welleaten, only skin left. I could see all its
bone.
The pattern of zig-zag was clearly seen
killed by a car and squished it had been.
So I took it with me as an offering to me.
And hope that some day I will find out how this snake skin may
be
of help to my journey of the All that is
I truley thank for this gift. Wasn´t that a bliss ?
As the snake shed it skin, I have shed min
I give thanks to snake spirit and know all is fine.
