A Snake's Revival

There's a mystery inside all of us, some show it more and others less.
We wear thick skin to go through our daily battles and the skin forgets
to shed. Running while life peels away at you. So distracted you don't
even notice. Revival awaits and you can't offer it even a minute.

In spite of our own selves we chose the fast pace. The fast lane never
slows. And just a glimpse in the mirror, do we really see something.
Something real and something trapped in our eyes. We give it only
a moments notice for the fear of slowing down and awakening it.

I stayed seeking it for a second longer.

I saw it burning. I saw the skin peeling. My skin was shedding.
Snake-like revival. It was something I never experienced. I felt the
layer leaving my mind. The person within was emerging and that
first breath felt new. Invigorated, I was revealing the mysteries
that were trapped.

I was alive and dancing in the fire.
