Poetry – Surviving Against The Odds

Surviving Against The Odds

Tectonic plates sliding

Volcanic ash spewing

Asteroids crashing

Suns exploding

Life surviving

16.9.2018

How precarious life is? Amid all the calamities somehow this incredible miracle of life survives.

The chances of its creation were so incredibly slim. Yet it happened.

On this planet the impossible happened. Out of zillions we were the lucky ones where it was just right.

I do not think there is anything divine about this. I use terms like miracle in a secular fashion.

It is so wondrous! Long may our luck hold!

Poetry – One Globe

One Globe

One globe

One life

One people

One cell

Once

I had this idea that we are all one. We are one people – all humans – one big family. All life on this planet is one bigger family – every plant and animal all based on the same DNA. We all came from that one miraculous cell that somehow was created out of that primordial soup. This is one majestic planet – the seat of life – is immense. Maybe it is the only one.

This might all have only happened once. Of all the zillions of planets it happened here.
