Acid Rain ~ Lisa Sahani
The sky grew dark as I called upon them to come to me with a healing purpose. A healing power, a ceremony of the new sun, to remove the poisonous pain of
the sweet stinger of the scorpion. The fangs of a beautiful coiled snake living inside me forever penetrating my very essence, only to now succumb to the removal of its venom.
And as they danced around me singing chants of spirit and strength, I felt the pulling as if the poison was being seeped right through my veins, leaving my body like sweat leaving as if it were a bath in the rays of the sun.
Deep, deep stinger being cut out of my heart as if my entire soul was being removed from my body. Tears streamed as drops of blood. Winds howled, my body lay frozen as the fire cleansed me. My chest was pulled in the 4 directions of the earth.
It is now, in this moment that my soul is being set free. It is now that the poisonous spirit of the past has been removed like a cancer once eating away at my heart.
As the healing pain slowly disappeared the sun began to shine. As the winds calmed and the sage burned, I felt the touch of those whose child I am.
"The letting go" it is to be named and forever known as, is now here. And as I stroke the feather, the eagle beseeches me to fly along side of him to see that which is below me. My eyes saw things that only the eyes of a new born child would see.
As the wind shuffled through my wings I opened the gates of the memories to set them free. Flowing behind me like water forced to leave a baby bird as it stretches its wings to fly for the very first time after a long spring rain.
And to it I say goodbye. I wish love and I also wish peace.
And in my memory the stinger shall live as a faint reminder of the healing power of the everything, the all, the one, all that is to be.
