Surviving Against The Odds – a poem

Surviving Against The Odds

Tectonic plates sliding

Volcanis ash spewing

Asteroids crashing

Suns exploding

Life surviving

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!
