The world

Cold and dark like a blizzard in the night.

Deceiving and dangerous as if a snake with fangs like daggers.

Wild like the wind and agonizing like a fire with flames white as snow.

Sharp like a double edged sword, try to flee but get cut both directions.

And yet, giving like the suns’ light on a calm morning.

Sweet as the robins’ song in spring, when the rainbow shines overhead.

Shining like the stars in the dark, bright with courage.

Strong like hope, strong like fear, unnerving and untrustworthy like a wolf and fox.

Never identifiable like a shadow or a dream. 

The world is horrifying. The world is beautiful. The world I do not understand.

And yet, it continues to surprise me and astonish me when I think it cannot anymore.

The light and the dark.

Life… will always be a mystery…
