Life –A Parallel Universe

Awesome.                                                                   Awful.

Evoking experiences of

Sunrises.                                                                     Sunsets.                                              

High tides.                                                                  Low tides.

Baby’s first cry.                                                          Loved one’s last breath.

Relationship beginnings.                                          Relationship endings.

Laughter launching us to tears.                                Sobs smothering our lungs.

It feels 

Electrifying, entertaining, enlightening.                 Boring, belittling, and burdening.

Therapeutic as a beach’s calm waters.                    Exhaustive as a Mount Everest climb.

Warming and nourishing our soul.                Depleting and challenging our psyche.                           

We are confused by

Emotional highs making us glow.                     Emotional dark abyss, dousing the light.

We breathe in all of it

Awesome.                                                                   Awful.

Letting it caress us.                                                   Letting it strengthen us.

Life weaves into us

The interwoven nuances

Challenging us to live fully by,

Embracing the

Awesome                                                        Awful
