The Snake: The Bhakt! (Inspired by My Mother and Shail Gulhati's The Yogi and the Snake)

When the poison, started flooding during the Samundra Manthan
Chaos running high in everyone,
we saw everything imbalanced...
You, My Lord.... had then stepped down
To hold it in your throat and bring the balance to entire cosmos...
As you bent down to drink the poison, from The Manthan
We your Lord, your follower... can't be left out!
So, when the potion dripped...
We chose it as our Prasadam!

They say, that when you drink poison, the throat burns....
But we knew Maa Bhagwati,
Our Mother...would always take care of US!
Yes, we felt the burnt as it ran in US...
But, the cold shower of Motherly Love helped us in enduring even that...
And, when she cooled us...
we decided to wind in your neck and share the coolness...

Even till today, when we absorb the Poison: the Negativity around us as an Empath!
We know you had drank a greater potion then US!
Many a times the poison took form of anger and raged in US...
And, Maa Bhagwati came down to calm and cool us...
And, when Mother gave us her coolness, in the laps of Nature!
We chose to wound around your neck,
and share our mother's Love and stayed CALM...

We are often misunderstood, and underestimated...
But, when you have a greater Love of Maa Bhagwati and Shiva...
What can the Bhakt ever ask of... _/\_
