Time - Love the Serpent
Food for thought yeah knowledge is what the dinner is
Zen mind open mind like a beginners is
There's snakes I stopped kicking with, fakes with bitterness
I harnessed my discipline, found ambition within
Psychic kick spin, broke down walls like Berlin
Poison lurking, canary in the mine chirping
I saved the bird, we're all connected and deserving
Curses I'm reversing, my past lives are merging
Leaving is returning, the healing is hurting
Tea steam swirling, knowledge transferring
I take a sip it's working, reality's blurring
Eternal flame burning the message was urgent
The dream guide said you have dreams reoccurring
Of past friends turned enemies in a hurry
I told him it was true his insight observant
He said it'll never stop till you love the serpent
He ordered more kava tea from the dream merchant
He told me bout Buddha and his enlightened saga
And how by the tree he was protected by Naga
The rain drizzled, the path he said stay in the middle
In mid journey dreams, every vision is a riddle
When your voice shakes that's a soul testimony
He said now it's time for your burial ceremony
He saw himself in the coffin, parts that needed to die
Malnourished truths all they had to eat was lies
He buried the parts, they were seeds to his soul
He watered them with the wisdom of letting go
The snow came he welcomed the feeling of being cold
The moon was half lit with a celestial fold
Sipping wine watching the universe go by
Reading Hafiz a golden compass in the sky
Staring at the same stars Rumi once did
The wound is the place where the light comes in
The wound is the place where the light comes in
The wound is the place where the light comes in
The wound is the place where the light comes in
