Poetry

We are each a miracle  An organic vessel  Sixty percent water A lump of protoplasm of various construction Formed into organs Processing nutrients  Cleansing waste  Cycling oxygen  Supported by a calcified structure  All controlled by a network of proteins  And beyond this Animated by a spark  That cannot be seen or heard or touched  Yet which propels us  To think,

Burn her to a cinder, she will rise from the ashes and set the world ablaze. Cast her into the wilderness, she will thrive among thorns and quench the thirst of many. Throw her hopes into the sea, she will traverse through troubled waters   and brave the raging storm. Abandon her in the dark, she will glow like a firefly
