Polyp on coral
frantic propulsions outward
stretching cord of old.
Growing force cresendo
jellyfish enters ocean.

Promise of pleasure
keeps me coming back for more
I'll face any pain.
Merging with your warm embrace
I am alive on earth.

Tornadoe vortex
twisting apart foundations
new life comes from old.
Frozen personalities
break apart under pressure.

One step at a time
I walk down the path of life
finding no shortcut.
Accepting the laws of nature
a fruit will fall when it's ripe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shell of protection
restricted growth causing pain
desire for relief.
Baby chick's exhausting pecks
spurred by hope of space to fly.
