Slithering Snake
A poem in honor of the 2025 Year of the Snake
Withering, slithering
Cunning piercing eyes,
forked tongue dancing as it watches
cold scaly skin
Coiling and twisting around trees
hues of mossy colored greens and earth tone browns
hiding out of sight under sticks and leaves.
Slithering snake suddenly breaks
out of old skin, revealing new
It slithers away leaving old skin behind
Just as slithering snake sheds its skin,
it's time for us to shed as well
to shed bad energy
negative thoughts
toxicity
a time for transformation
of forward-thinking and renewal
And just as the snake slithers away from old skin,
we must look forward to new beginnings
leaving bad energy behind.

This poem was inspired by this year's Lunar New Year.
2025: The Year of the Snake!
The year of the snake is about transformation and new beginnings.
