Crystol Woods

They were two snakes in the grass buried in the pit of life
now bemoaning their past with hisses, coils and strikes
she constricts he restricts
venom spewing out
she thwarts his advances and he thwarts hers
stubbornness seeding in the pot of mystery
in the rock bottom garden of life
... yet there they were 
continuously watching their every movements 
like jealous lovers but in this case like adversaries
like the proverbial snakes in the grass
her eyes would pierce his
his eyes would send chills down her back
on and on, on and on
these two battled, battling night and day
then one day and once upon a time
story has it a huge earthquake hit
it hit faith ... it hit destiny 
it hit the rock bottom garden pit, sending the pair twirling around
twirling around on top of each other
like a washing machine
and when the tremors stopped
and when the cycle stopped spinning
there they were ... the pair was on top of each other
... sparkling clean and rebooted 
now their eyes soften and their coats insulate
the heat felt good
they nudge closer together, sniffing Heaven for once
changing their venom to love, being pregnant with happiness
and soon a nest of little ones, too
so cute to see these babies boom
that even the two snakes in the grass are beaming
beaming a new found purpose in life
olive branches of tremors, fate
a fortuitous bounce
