This power that lives in your spine
It is a serpent and it will rise
Do not believe the ancient myth
That says he was the evil one
Instead remember him as bringer of truth and power
So long exiled
By the patriarchial world
Running half crazed
In fear of the feminine
The viper inside
That rises
When innocence is transgressed
Will be the freedom fighter
Who comes with the sword
To liberate you from your prison of
Bad Don’t Ought and Should
He will not let you be a slave
To domination
By the captor
Who demands the price of your soul
Through acquiesence
The reptilian brain was always given to us to trust
And to serve
It’s inner trauma power
Births a sword that must marry with mind
And use to cut away
From those who would ensnare our souls
In their paralysing traps
This rising inner power is the bringer of a light
That cannot be denied
That can inform the human side
Which turns dark and cold and heavy
When light and love and power are lost
True instinct
You are the force that takes us home
And that has the strength to realize
Full embodiment of our spirit in flesh
As we feel and release
Fear and anger
Longing and hope
Love and hate
Terror and ecstasy
To incarnate in the flesh
Heaven on Earth
