Interview With a Coiled Snake
‘Twas not a snake of the conventional type,
which I chanced to meet, at the base of my spine.
The kundalini, about which there’s much hype,
I saw clearly as Divine Mother’s love sign,
looking at me, judging if my heart was ripe,
to imbibe bliss magnetism for which all pine.
She asked me with kindness, if I was ready,
to which I truthfully said, ‘heart’s unsteady’.
Pointing out that Her spectre was strange to me,
I requested Her to tell me who She was,
to which She smiled and said, ‘let such questions be’.
‘It suffices’, She said, ‘to know I’m the cause
of movement enabling life, that soul may see,
by aligning with love, obeying God’s laws,
paving way for man to wake up in life’s dream,
where myriad thought forms do endlessly stream’.
Hearing this I stood transfixed in disbelief,
yet played along asking Her what I should do,
to which She said, ‘be still, to obtain relief’.
‘Simply allow’, She added, ‘bliss to renew’.
I did as bidden by turning a new leaf
and though it took time for me to fear subdue,
it was worth the wait, for in stillness sedate,
I was drenched in bliss waves that did not abate.
