Summon the seance of slithering serpents Seeking short sought succulence Seldom spoil the sparkling sheen In sensing sin in sights unseen Sharing secrets in the symbiosis Of seasonal cycles in self hypnosis Ignorance is bliss if that's what you wish The nectar of knowledge fileted in a dish Blessed, yet cursed then dispersed Quenching this thirst for better or worst Fallen angels may find their wings Reaching through the thorny Stings A burden of glory, told of old Mysterious shadows laden with gold In a crown of thorns weaving like wire Surrounded and one with the breath of fire A humming voice among the choir Lest we fear that which we desire Have we got gotten what we've deserved? You are hungry, so eat. Dinner is served. This painting is based on 3 strong female mythological characters: Eve of the Garden of Eden (Christian mythos), Persephone (Queen of the Underworld from Greek mythos), and Artemis (Huntress goddess also from Greek mythos). These stories weave together to tell a new story about our relationship with the fruits of knowledge available in our perfectly flaw, dualistically balanced world. I hope the poem and the connection of symbols in this painting can give you insight into the nature of expansion of the human mind in symbiosis with the light and dark of the world around us.
