Spiritual Friend

Little butterfly in gentle flight. Evil of curiosity plays on kid's mind. To a cave hidden, I’m led as blind At the mouth, a creature of fright. Menacing, uncoiled a grass snake. Grey spots on sleek skin; unbearable. Still as a rod, I stood, life at stake. Hysteric Mum reached me; a miracle. The alcove gave into an abyss!... Grass snake is now my friend.
