The Lesson

I noticed the smiling sparrows flying through the breaking dawn
While strolling upon the purple blue jasmine forest pathway

Their chirping caused streaking fissures of laughter within my brain
I followed them, like brown serpents, beneath the blue ocean waves

They led me to a fairy circle and a naked princess
Within her hands, she held a golden chalice filled with red wine

I stood before her, as the sparrows circled, opening my mouth
She poured the ancient liquid upon my parched silver tongue

Then she whispered a spell into my awaiting eager ear
Upon hearing her message, I went into a crimson dream

I climbed an amber leafy vine, through the lofty milky sky
Looked down upon a confused humanity, peering upward

Twas then I saw true path, through the rays of the burning sun
I descended to mother earth and the bed of the Goddess

I returned to my meager den and kneeled before the altar
Lighting candles of white and gold and incense of dragons blood

I thanked the mother for the lesson I had finally received
That we are all brothers and sisters of the radiant light
