The Goddess Saraswati, Speaks!

Press play and let the music wash over your senses as you read. Salute. 

The Goddess Saraswati, Speaks!

(A lone voice whispers)

Hey you my beloved 

Take me as a symbol of your need for release

To replace your hatred instead with a deep love

For where there is Injury in your life

Look for me 

High above

When you feel Doubt

Have Faith and don't give up like Faust


If Despair appears like an unwanted friend

Remember my sister

Hope 

To help you cope

When Darkness suddenly seems to slide in 

Trying to destroy everything

Let Heaven's Bright Lights arrive to absolve its sin

When your Life becomes or feels Unhappy

Smile and always try to remember these wise words

To sing

We are all heading home 

Swimming or wading in the Holy River

Knee-deep in channels of our divine role

Praying whoever we worship will forgive us

To help pardon our soul

Before we enter its beautiful gardens


For with inner forgiveness

We are reborn to eternal life

No longer a sinner

But free

From all the burdens of our choice 

Of Medusa's sharp emotional knife

For I 

The 

Goddess of all Fairytales

Bring this to you

For I'm beyond

What your occupation

Status creed or gender

Entails


I just want to retrace what your heartbeats regale


Your age is a pale horse
I never want to see


I just want to hear your hopes and dreams


Will you risk all for love and spiritual glory

To live an extraordinary life


Will you sit with me

In this Summers and Winter's solstice 

 To reinforce this

To reflect on your admired memories of life

 

And tell me all your treasured stories 

Whilst trying to smile to try to find the courage to again look 

Past all your mortal doubts

And disturbing grey rain 

That still brings you so much internal pain

To then dance with me in feverish ecstasy 

As happiness revisits all your inner domains

To become a smiling passenger 

On one of my fast-moving trains

Free and with no limitations

Ready for pleasure beyond refrain

Will you soar with me
like two golden eagles

Above fast gossip whispering campaigns
Free from Darkness as we break its chains

Just welcome me in

So we can begin
