Self Portrait
I am a hawk spirit I dance with snakes. They are beautiful in the way that they move.
They bite me, n surrender their venom. They make me stronger n then I eat them.
I am balanced n consensus n synchronicity n co-conspiracy n reciprocity with the All.
If you are attracted to me I promise you this, you will not appreciate my bluntness.
If you are a snake I will eat you n offer you to my children.
Children, be critical thinkers of the Now first, Past n Future. Are you capable, to rise above impulse?
Pause…
Fear is a dream, an illusion we create. But so is young Love. Danger is real.
I am a hawk I dance with snakes You are beautiful in the way that you move.

Disembodied voices deepen my
Suspicious tendencies
Conversations we've never had
Imagined interplay

Don't you dare point that at me
Heated altercations we've never had
So I'm told

Misleading me over and over and over
Judge, condemn, and banish any and everyone
Without evidence
Only the whispers from within
Psychopathy
Misleading me over and over
Psychopathy
Misleading me over and over and over
Don't you dare point that at me
Don't you dare point that at me
Don't you dare point that at
Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Don't you dare point that
Don't you dare
Don't you dare
Don't you dare point that at

As a reader, I can only read meaning from the words, whereas the writer imbues meaning into them. The processes are different, but hopefully, no less valid or revealing about those who engage in them. What I mean to say is, the meaning I read from the words may or may not be different than what was intended, but hopefully it is no less meaningful, if that makes sense.
This poem, Hawk Spirit, I find myself frequently returning to. I find it fascinating. Especially in contrast to Our Lady Gaia, which is a celebration of harmony and love. Where Our Lady Gaia is full of warmth and gratitude for nature and all the creatures in it, all at peace with…
