My Spirit Animal-The Slippery Loathsome Creature

Every mid nights I stay partially awake.. Haunted by schizophrenic nightmares, Detached from conscience, Convulsed by delusions.. "Serpentine spirit" swings me into unimaginable adventures and tries paralysing me.. I heard a serpent would come to prick us with venom only if we commit any sin.. But I haven't committed any..? i cogitate..!! Then, later I verbally query before it could strike me.. To my astonishment I hear some charming music behind the woods.. Someone comes to protect me by attempting to rip the fangs of spirits.. While I observe them keen, dancing to the music being heard.. I understand something.. The fierce movements performed are in fact to defend themselves.. I intricately watch without taking off my eyes as they hiss.. and hiss..and hiss.. After some time I voluntarily plunge myself to wriggle &dance falling on the floor for the pitch and rhythm.. Deep down i perceive strange feelings, Assuming to be connected with these magical spirits. Goes on this rhythmic cavort.. as I dwell and sway in the hallucinations untill dawn.. I would call this to be supramundane.. which exquisitely flourishes in my daily nights. 31-5-2020 ~DEEPA~ Third place in the Contest. Note: Spirit animal poetry Contest Sponsored by Dear Heart.

V, congratulations on your win in my spirit contest with this wonderfully penned poem, actually one of my spirit animals is a snake, she stays coiled at my feet ready should any evil enter my space but otherwise she is tame as a house cat _Constance
