Poetry: “Autobiography” by Robert Garmston
“Autobiography”
by Robert J. Garmston
Autobiography
what is life
but energy seeking expression
a yearning for fulfillment in its DNA
persistent enough to treat obstructions
as challenges
in rich or poor soil
under cloudy skies or stormy
its desires will not be denied
as long
as it survives its perilous path
as long as false starts
are perceived and corrected
as long as it senses its own being
as long as encounters
make it smarter
it will prevail
this is no fairy tale
no story of herculean proportion
it is what
is natural
