Serpent's Rise
[Verse]
Coiled tight beneath my skin
Silent serpent waits within
Twisting whispers start to hum
Wake the fire where I'm from
[Verse 2]
Breath ignites the sacred flame
Spinal climb no need for shame
Shaking ground beneath my feet
Rising tide I can't defeat
[Chorus]
Oh it burns it twists it turns
Light erupts the body yearns
Let it rise let it take
Sacred serpent wide awake
[Verse 3]
Every nerve electric screams
Shattered walls and vivid dreams
Cracks in time they show the truth
Unveiling all I never knew
[Bridge]
Writhing snake of energy
Breaking chains that caged me free
Upward spiral blinding sight
Tangled threads of dark and light
[Chorus]
Oh it burns it twists it turns
Light erupts the body yearns
Let it rise let it take
Sacred serpent wide awake

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
