The Serpent Vanishes

By Ken Cooper

The serpent coiled
                   around the tree
                           And said
                   “I sure can make you free!”
                                  It winked
                                         and grinned
                                 and looked
                         quite sly
                                  and said
      “Go on, do have a try!
                         Please believe me,
                                       make me real,
                                           Without your thought,
                                 I can’t appeal,
                For anything
                         you want
                      to do
              is simply
               only
                  up to
                        you.”

The man of God stood strong and tall-
He knew for sure that God is ALL.
In his expression of one Mind
No serpent thought could be entwined.
Indeed no error could find place
For God and man stood face to face.
And like a dream when I’m awake
There clearly never was a snake!
