Double Edged Sword

Big drops of much needed rain falling to earth through bright clouds and sun beams.
Car skids on the wet road into a telephone pole
Fluffy white snow made up of individual crystals remarkable up close
En Mass they slide brutally down the hill drowning skiers
Sparkling sun dancing on the water with a summer wind warming the sand
Water recedes, the bottom comes up too soon breaking boards and necks
Beautiful vista of trees and water, Dirt paths under oaks and around boulders
bright blue skies overhead And it all gives way.
One step too many and they’re gone.
Humans, one helping the other, giving a reprieve, laughing together being their best selves.
Intersection.
