Bronze Serpent

I'm speeding into oncoming traffic
the headlights ablaze, blinding me

I'm swimming upstream
the other fish in the sea snapping at me

I stand on the edge of the world
sand beneath my toes, water slowly fading in and out

And then the waves crash towards me
I duck, bowing down, and see the bronze serpent
A sense of warmth rushes over me

I'm home again, still out out of breath
winded from the constant influx of emotion

but the greatest emotion
the greatest virtue
Surrounds me
Takes care of me
Holds me
