Another try

A dark well gives me a glimpse of the void, a look into what I sense is my origin point.

I listen,

I wait for the echo of my purpose,

from deep down underground,

I am greeted by the sound of the drum
and serpents

I slide down,
I take a leap,
I go join what’s burried underneath

The serpents,
they love my body like you never could,
they fuel my soul like a lover should

They give me just enough poison to survive,
I gain just enough power for another try
