Upon the mantle sits a rattlesnake's jaw...
Under the full Moon, the circle has been convened to meditate upon
life. The drums beat as if they are the very heart itself, beating
with a rush, pushing the blood faster and faster until it as if on
fire. The beats drown out everything outside the body and only that
which is within can be heard. All the thoughts of times past come
rushing in with each beat of the drum to be purged from soul.
Each and every day's thoughts of those who were no longer to be felt near
are once again put before the eyes and heart. Once again to be felt
so deeply as if it were happening for the first time all over again.
Those who were once the closest energy and life, left amidst the
shadows in order to find that which was needed: to walk the path that
can only be walked by one who knows thyself to be true. To be brought
to the surface to be faced one last time, accepted, and then let go
just as quickly as it has come. But yet again the question from the
soul is asked of the heart, how can it be gone? Is it not to forever
stay as a reminder of what has taken place so as not to make the same
mistakes? No, they cannot for they will take up more energy and space
than is needed or required. Forgive thyself? It cannot be as easy as
that, it should not be for the level of damage suffered upon another:
one with such respect and trust. One who deserves more than this
world can seem to give up, yet still again to try. As the dance
continues the drums pick up a more furious beat. Now it is as if life
itself is dying, a fast, quick death upon the flames that burn ever
higher as if propelled by the drumbeats. Higher and higher into the
sky to be burnt to ash and set free among the stars under the
brightness of the Moon so that all can see it has taken place. Life
has been reborn of sorts to once again try to live and fulfill the
dreams. As the morning star rises and gives way for the Moon to rest,
a howl is heard in the distance.....blending into the
forest...resonating as if upon the waters of the lake.
