We made love in the cave of the snakes

we brought the serpents together again

oh my love

my praying serpent love

oh my love

my rising priestess love

oh my love

and to the next village my love

to the sacred spring

the baby baptized again

and he baptizes us

while the women in black wash their morning clothes

and we are purified each of us

and he is baby Jesus

the blessed one

in the convent where she had seen the virgin

we lit candles for our sweet family and for her who died

and we saw her vision

we too saw the great mother

illuminated above us

entering our hearts

blessing our love

and I saw that across the valley

out of her window

was the sacred mountain

and I saw the virgin come down into the mountain

in me

as her

and as the serpent as one

and she made love to me there

even as the baby ran wild

and you prayed that

each member of our families would find their own deep spiritual light

and we were almost taken by the wind

on the wrong road

and were confused

and lost our way

and reached Vigili's cave

and were home again

deep within the whirling winds

far within her sacred fires

deep inside the sacred earth

above the raging seas

we prayed

you climbed upwards and prepared the cave for us

you put the snakes back in the earth

that were given to you on the rock and everywhere

for you had been building snakes within you for days

charging up as the snake goddess for days

and you drew them in the earth

and made the medicine wheel

the animals moved themselves

the snake in north west

the turtle in the north

and you sat in a lotus

ancient beyond belief

a serpent headdress of rattlesnake skin

a rock in each hand the earth my love

and I sat across from you

my laptop and the spirit lovers proposal in my hands

and you sang to me

"oh my love

my sweet sweet love

oh my love

my storytelling love

I thank the earth my love

for giving birth to us

and I thank the seas my love

for washing us clean

and I thank the fires my love

for our passion

and I thank the winds my love

for our love

and I pray the spirit lovers legend will be told

and that our sweet family will be safe

and that our love will live forever

and our work will be done

and I thank you for loving me

and for filling me with light

and for loving me perfectly

oh my lover

I do"

and I sung to you my love

I thank the earth for your body my love

and I thank the seas for your vaginal fluid and milk my love

and I thank the fire for your passion my love

and I thank the wind for your breath my love

and I thank him for filling me with light

so I could put inside of you

and make him

and I thank her for gardening us from above

and telling us this story

oh my lover

I do

and I pray for our story to be told

and the for spirit lover legend to be manifest on earth

oh my lover

we do.

and we sung these songs

and swirled together as one

and our passion rose

and our snakes rose

and I saw you as her

with snakes in each hand

lightning around you

and me as him

with light coming down into me from above

and we took of our clothes

and sat naked in the wheel

and I came to you

and you sat on me

and I came up into you

as my snake rose

and filled you with light

and you were the earth

and I was the seas

and you were the fire

and I was the winds

and we made love in the cave of the snakes

we brought the serpents together again

we took the serpent up out of the earth

and the one down from the sky

and joined them as one serpent

and put wings on them

and took them upwards as the owl

into her heart my love

into her soul my love

and as I came up into you my love

we disappeared

and the cave too was gone

and there were only the serpents

swirling upwards as one

merging tunneling deeply in time and space

forming the earth forming the sea forming the wing forming fire

and she came from above and he came from afar

and they made love

and were one again on earth

and we had won

over those who had killed the snakes

over Poseidon

and Athens

oh my lover

we had

and I went to the cave across the sacred river

and we brought in the light

over the sacred river

under the wind god Aeolus' mountain

around the earth

we separated to bring in the light my love

that is why we are ever apart

and we each saw the tulip light

the bud

the embryo

of the first light

arising as our first kiss

arising as the first light

for when we were one my love

we formed this light as love

before we were

before we were two

and now she shows it to us

as we remember her

and as we bring in the light my love

the tulips merge and are one

and we are the first light

and the last light

and the birth of the dream

and ourselves

at once

oh my lover

we are

and I see above you the serpent in the sky

entering the top of your head

from pure clear light

like an ornament

and gold bright orange light

translucent transparent

around you forever

oh my love

and I knew

that I saw that light

when I licked you from below

and made love

your vagina was alight

in a golden tulip spiral

with one dewdrop on top

giving birth to the earth

oh my lover

and I oiled her paintings my love

with sacred oil from the church

and you went over the mountain

eight times across the river

and as on offering we left a white dove feather

and you put on icon in the deepest part of the cave

and prayed to her

"may everyone in the world

find their spirit lover

may everyone become one

with their spirit lovers"

and you prayed in the top cave my love

and went down to the serpent

and were naked

and alone you went into thee raging seas

down on her rock

into her body

and oiled her eyes

and touched her body

and made love to me

as her my love

and your naked body merged with her

and with me

and with the sea

and with the sun

and with the sky

and with the rock

and you became the serpent priestess

born of the spirit elements

mother of the earth

and you took me as your lover

and we made the earth my love

we made the sky my love

we made the fire my love

we made the wind my lover

and I saw her come down into you on the rock

and now up into you in the sea

and enter your vagina

and rise into you

as I do

and I saw that I was him

and I was the other serpent

and we were now one again

oh my love

and you prayed again

that everyone would find their spirit lovers

and the miracle would be

to see out of the eyes of the serpent

and I dreamed in the light my love

and covered you with it on the rock

and we saw that the wind god

brought the snakes back from the north west

from the sacred mountain

and we saw that the wind water sun earth fire babies and art

come in spirals into the earth

in snake spirals

as we pray and make love

and coming down my love

you found

an owl feather

we had done good

on this wind blown hill

with no trees

and no owls

she had given us

her blessing again

and he made us a feast my love

and afterwards we sat on the beach

with a pregnant woman my love

and as we drove upwards out of the serpent cave

you saw that the road went right to the top

of the sacred mountain my love

and we had to go there

and we passed a sacred spring my love

where they washed their cars

and I went to sleep my love

and you climbed the sacred mountain

and deep in a trance my love

I saw you as one owl flying in love

and you were climbing on hands on knees

where that came from my love

and you asked for a miracle

an answer to your ordinary woman's predicament

for my leg to be healed

and up into the wind you crawled

holding on to the mountain with your hands

and he blew on you

and through your life

and at the top

you saw only love for everyone

flowing through you out of you

around you

and I was around you loving you blowing as the wind

while my body was with the baby sleeping below deep in a healing trance

oh my love

at the top a crucifix

and you prayed

"I love you"

eight times

to the wind

dealing with the limits of your ordinary body

as an ordinary housewife

crawling up the sacred mountain in the howling winds

oh my love

in ritual you are a doorway

for light to come through

for our story to be told

our purpose is to tell the story

to love each other way beyond perfectly

in every breath

for the rituals to be done

as you climbed you asked

"who am I as an ordinary woman

in a moment

I call in the wind

I love you

I swirl around you always

in love with you perfectly

only as the wind my love

only as you are my love

you know this is true"

and I was asleep as the ocean

on all sides

as the wind

all around you

as the sun

setting into your body

as the earth

below you

as your child

and in the second turning

you prayed for our loneliness

for all of our aloneness

while within her heart

we are loved beyond perfectly

oh my lover

we know this is true
