THIS WEEK'S Poetry Potluck #30, brings us the challenge of Evolution, Environment, and Survival. I insist on surviving. That's it!
SURVIVAL
I learned to paint my heart with camouflage,
walk on the ceiling when the floor swayed.
Sometimes I slipped into a crack,
next to the vermin.
Became skilled at being a wall.
Found the chalk and lead within,
not poison to me at all.
I am from ashes come,
hiding as a quantum speck
in the cosmic funhouse,
before heaven claims me.
Let God just wait for my intent.
I mean to write a full opera
in any key I want.

"Let God just wait for my intent."
Interesting idea.
wow! such courage and power! :)
Powerful words! I loved the rawness of your words.. :)
At times we need to do it all by ourselves.. let God take what we wish to give/do!
I feel the force..
Hugs xx
That's an interestin mix of points and all combine well to show how you survived! I like the reference to opera and any key - clever.
