The Snake Charmer

Come wake me from this worldly coma
Reopening closed channels by  karma
With the flute against your divine lips
Send cosmic languorous waves that grip

 

Let them loose into the serene atmosphere
Lilting dancing lifting me from my nadir
Freeing all attachments rising slowly surely
Wavering tripping gripping notes trebly tipsy

 

The undulating of the hands infusing life’s breath
Primal reawakening sounds prying away from death
Mesmerizing tantalizing teasing and enticing daze
Clearing peeling shedding scaly worldliness trace

 

Chastened and cleansed and washed and purified true
A reed now blessed, your grace bestowed breakthrough
Ready to embrace and perform the cosmic dance anew
Embracing, emerging, merging, dissolving ultimately in you

 

Thou Shiva, transformer, snake charmer, originating cosmic dance
Rescue your creation from mutating, growing alien layers and layers
Restore pristine belief and innocence it was sent with, by n into nature
Allow it to reclaim lost paradise shedding spurning annihilating ignorance

 

 

Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.
Arthur Schopenhauer German, Philosopher Quotes

I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that’s the basis of Greek mythology.
Brendan Fraser American, Actor Quotes

 

Hell is yourself and the only redemption is when a person puts himself aside to feel deeply for another person.
Tennessee Williams American, Dramatist Quotes

For my part I believe in the forgiveness of sin and the redemption of ignorance.
Adlai E. Stevenson American, Politician Quotes

 

Seeking to forget makes exile all the longer;
the secret of redemption lies in remembrance.
Richard von Weizsaecker German, Politician Quotes

 

Industrial societies turn their citizens into image-junkies; it is the most irresistible form of mental pollution. Poignant longings for beauty, for an end to probing below the surface, for a redemption and celebration of the body of the world. Ultimately, having an experience becomes identical with taking a photograph of it.
Susan Sontag 1933-, American Essayist

 

I believe in Michelangelo, Velasquez, and Rembrandt; in the might of design, the mystery of color, the redemption of all things by Beauty everlasting, and the message of Art that has made these hands blessed. Amen. Amen.
George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950, Irish-born British Dramatist
