Snake coiled in the minds
Looped in overlapping thoughts
At the bequest of the wood snake
Let’s unravel the forgotten
Foregone memories, engraved patterns
Elastic mind seems to accommodate
It all with no apparent problems
Letting go of the most recent
Digging deeper for the next best collection
Finding ways to make peace and appease
To make room for the unwanted pile
Waiting to be let go
Finally, the most difficult, most essential
Purge awaits, where the most important
Weighing down and down, compacted
And crushing need to be unearthed
Awaits
May the wood snake bring the resolute mind
The courage and strength to release it all
Turning inward and be in harmony
With one and all
