The Daimon
The daimon dwells within you, like your higher self and soul.
Chatting with him is simple. This is what I have been told.
He communicates in twitches, or touches soft and fleeting.
To start conversing with him, in thoughts send him a greeting.
You may not notice his response at first, in time you will,
the secret is an open mind and sitting quiet and still.
He’ll twitch the sole of your right foot to comment in his way
On what you’re thinking at the time, or on the things you say.
If something that you’re thinking’s right, your right thigh he will twitch
in agreement with that thought, you’ll think that it’s just an itch;
but it’s the daimon inside, speaking in his way to you,
commenting on your fleeting thoughts, I’m told this is the truth.
You may feel a sensation in the cheek he softly strokes
when you’re thinking of things cheeky or telling him a joke.
and the clothing on your shoulder may suddenly shift;
he pats you sympathetically, your mournful mood to lift.
When you are well acquainted, a sensation in the lips
Is an indication of his affectionate kiss
For the daimon lives within and he speaks internally
in twitches and in twinges- that’s what’s been told to me.

he communicates in twitches or touches soft and fleeting.
To start conversing with him, first think at him a greeting.
There’s no need to speak aloud, your emotions to express,
he can read your thoughts at will, when to him they’re addressed.
They’re very fond of humour, and a twitch in either sole
means what you just thought at him tickled his listening soul.
If something you think at him’s right, your right thigh he will twitch
in agreeance with that thought, you’ll think that it’s just an itch;
but it’s the daimon inside, speaking in his way to you,
answering your fleetest thoughts, I’m told this is the truth.
You may feel a sensation in the cheek he softly strokes
when you think at him things cheeky or make a private joke,
and the clothing on your shoulder may suddenly shift;
he pats you sympathetically, your mournful mood to lift.
And when you are well acquainted, your lips he may well kiss-
you must be still and concentrate to experience this.
For the daimon lives within and answers internally
in twitches and in twinges- that’s what’s been told to me.

Daimon is the Greek derivative for the term demon. In this sense the term "demon" means "replete with knowledge." The ancient Greeks thought there were good and bad demons called 'eudemons' and 'cacodemons.' The term 'daimon' means "divine power," "fate" or "god." Daimons, in Greek mythology, included deified heroes. They were considered intermediary spirits between men and the gods. Good daimons were considered to be guardian spirits, giving guidance and protection to the ones they watched over. Bad daimons led people astray. Socrates said he had a life-time daimon that always warned him of danger and bad judgment, but never directed his actions. He said his daimon was more accurate than omens of either watching the flights or reading the entrails of birds, which were two respected forms of divination of the time.
