Serpentine

This serpentine life

I dip into
And out of
Joy

Into and out of
Despair

Into and out of
Love

Into and out of
Grief

Knowing there will always be
Joy and despair
Love and grief

Accepting that each will come
As it will
And too shall pass
As it will

Learning to flow through each
With gratitude
And compassion
As I move through life

All the while
Exploring the landscape
Of possibility
