Preset

Subliminal symbols play.
Like passing ants on any day.
To and from the hive they go
Like the pull of an under toe

Driven by a primal urge
They hurry in a march of dirge
Life and death is on the run
Charging like Attila the Hun.

There’s nothing else that they would be
The same I think as you and me.
Yet do not question of their vend
They seek no special fitting ends.

It is a lesson by all means.
A lesson given in our genes
Factor in the power of God
And it does not seem so odd.

So maybe why is not for let
Maybe it is all preset.

Very nice,
But isn’t that undertow?
Or are you trying for a different meaning?
Well-crafted as usual

Ants frighten me to no end, not because they bite, but because they are so damned ORGANIZED they intimidate me. *shudder*

Loved the view of the world, and your wisdom looking at the wee universe...

and yep, alert and thinking here. (Y'caught me on the THIRD cup o coffee.)

Allow me to illustrate:

serenity on 3 cups o java--->

4 cups--->

5 cups--->

gonna quit after this'n I think.

Mornin' lovie.

(smiles) So much is preset and predetermined, but I also believe He predetermined freedom also, and that is how we are all unique and keep dancing with all the other ants! (big hugggssssss) I love this, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
