Life

How wonderful it is
With all of it's mysteries
And the not-always-so-good surprises
And the little deaths
A bridge is never just a bridge
And every curve brings something new
It is balanced, sometimes
It marches ever onward
Toward the ending that never changes
Just to begin again and again and again
It sings in the wind
And shouts in the thunder
And I immerse myself
In the sweet-and-sour rain that is life
How wonderful indeed
