Primordial Ooze

by Treischel


Primordial Ooze




Creatures crawling in primordial ooze
Evolve slowly upon the path they choose.

Will they become creatures of the deep?
Will they climb out upon the earth to creep?
Then grow leather or feather wings to fly?
Or hard hooves on strong legs to gallop by?

These things are the thoughts I have as I stroll
Along a swampy path to search my soul,
And ponder the impact of mankind's role.






Just some thoughts.

This photograph was the Muse for this poem. It is one I took in July 2012 at the Maplewood Nature Center, which has a boardwalk across it's swamp land. This scene just seems so ancient, so promordial, that is got me thinking.
