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
