Not a Drop Said the Bat

Medicine woman She came to my aid, Into my eyes she looked deeply one day. Long ago before I could even count. "From an Aspen grove is where you grow, And your seasons shall be four. Notes Of 7 you'll sing to heaven, but not a drop Will you take from the Snake at the door. A trickster plays the sweetest song, Pretends a friend before the day is done. Mother cries in the wind "it's not a cigar" Take it to your mouth, then spit it far. Make well the body by thoughts of mind Stay strong in the heart by staying kind And chase away fear that renders you blind." Marked She on my leg to remember that, Not a drop from the Snake, so said the Bat. Incomplete in the make for a Dragon's cat.
