Watch Out For The Serpent Hssss

🐍

Hsssss
Our relationship 
Old as time 
Adam and Eve
Cain and Abel 
Narcissus and Goldmund 
Harry Haller and Steppenwolf 
We act out many archetypal roles 
Shiva dances 
Spinning world's 
Friendships 
In and out of creation 
Reborn into a new role
Seed reaches flower 
This has been  
Season of harvest 
Fruit ripe on the tree 
The tree of knowledge 
Watch out for the serpent 
Telling you that knowledge 
Will make you God
Blood and Wine
Bread and Flesh
Sage of the Tao 
Lowest of the low 
Oceans deepest deep 
Always contemplating 
The return
Hssssss

Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...
